October 29, 2024
Salon II, III, IV
Policy and regulation System planning Utility scale

1:30 - 2:15 PM EST

Sponsored by:

Investor-owned electric distribution companies operating in Massachusetts must periodically submit an Electric Sector Modernization Plan (ESMP) with the Department of Public Utilities (DPU). The first ESMP filings were due this January, requiring each company to proactively plan to upgrade its distribution system (and transmission where applicable) to improve grid reliability, communications, and resiliency while enabling increased, timely adoption of renewable energy and distributed energy resources. In this session, Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil will share updates and perspectives on their filed ESMPs and the implications for market participants.
