How do you run a robust battery storage program when the equipment you need is new technology? Utilities across the northeast are working it out. Energy Storage Solutions – a demand response program that uses residential and commercial batteries to ease strain on the grid through both active and passive dispatch – was launched in Connecticut in 2022, taking the place of ConnectedSolutions, which didn’t have a passive dispatch component. The program’s first true test was the summer of 2023 when there were enough batteries enrolled in the program to gather meaningful results. Join us for a panel discussion to learn how the batteries performed in 2023, what changes were implemented to improve performance in 2024 and the early results of those program updates. Topics to be discussed include Passive Dispatch vs Active Dispatch; Enrollment and Incentives; Battery Storage Technology; DER Interconnection; and much more.
