Location: 052A, BCEC

This session dives deep into the intricacies of utility forecasting in the context of sustainable energy and explores the innovative approaches taken in the northeast for grid planning. We'll take a close look at the progress states have made in their grid planning initiatives and discuss their strategies for accommodating the growing demand for renewable energy and electrification. A key theme of the conversation will be the delicate balance between energy storage and distributed generation (DG) within the framework of low-cost grid planning.
