Description (excerpt):
SEPA, in collaboration with Schneider Electric and SPAN, explored how smart panels are reshaping how customers and utilities manage increasing electrification demand. As EVs, heat pumps, and other electric appliances push existing service capacities to the limit, smart panels and load management devices can provide real-time load control to keep homes within their capacity limits. This report examines how smart panels can help avoid service upgrades, accelerate electrification, and support participation in utility programs.
