This project will start by identifying all energy system and market data needed to conduct a circuit-level analysis of the project area, focusing on key load-growth areas in Washington D.C. The team will then identify all missing data points needed to conduct effective distribution resource planning and scenario analyses – characterizing potential costs and benefits to implementing a demand management program. Finally, the team will develop an implementation plan to acquire additional data, engage stakeholders and achieve sustainability mandates at lowest costs with the most benefits.
Significant stakeholder engagement and education through Formal Case 1130 at the Public Service Commission. Identified areas of significant load-growth, characterized the distribution system in the District leveraging publically available data. Conducted a PJM market analysis, evaluating peak management opportunities in the wholesale market.
