Cost-effective strategies for addressing near-term load growth
U.S. electricity demand is rising at its fastest rate in two decades. Utilities that act now, with the right mix of strategies, will serve their customers reliably and affordably. Those that wait face a different future.
Our short-term load growth whitepaper looks at digital strategies for maximizing output from existing distributed energy resources as demand from data center development, industrial manufacturing, and broader electrification rises sharply. Long-term generation upgrades won’t be finished in-time to keep with demand. Utilities need to explore short-term, digital options to unlock capacity immediately, such as:
- Advanced Conductors
- Virtual Power Plants
- Non-Wires Alternatives
- Dynamic Line Ratings
