The Evolving US Electric Grid 2021
The past, present, and future of the grid and demand-side energy management
Each of the six deregulated energy markets and their grid operators in the US have been tested in recent years, pushed to the limit by catastrophic weather events, rising demand, and the challenge of integrating renewables and other clean resources.
As the country progresses in its third decade of energy market deregulation, a question that’s been asked of late is whether or not competitive energy markets can provide the US electric grid with the energy and the resilience it needs to sustain its evolution toward a carbon-free future.
CPower’s Ken Schisler and Mathew Sachs are ready to answer this and other questions about the evolving grid, energy markets, and how organizations can position themselves for success with demand-side energy management in 2021 and beyond.
This 30-minute webinar covers:
- The future trajectory of the grid: What will the omnidirectional grid of tomorrow look like?
- How commercial organizations can achieve their sustainability goals with demand-side energy management.
- The importance of FERC Order 2222 and what it means for organizations participating in demand-side energy management
- There will also be an open question and answer session at the end of the webinar.
