This workshop will explore efforts to identify, measure, and monetize the local value of load flexibility on the distribution grid. This workshop is part of the ongoing PLMA strategic initiative for load flexibility valuation and reflects increasing interest in load flexibility as a distribution-level resource to support load growth and affordability needs. The workshop will provide an overview of the initiative and work performed to date, include case study presentations from NREL and Massachusetts on research and regulatory frameworks in this area, and include an interactive session to advance understanding of localized load flexibility value.
