Planning, permits and interconnection carry $266 billion of Brattle's $614 billion DER estimate

Planning, permits and interconnection carry $266 billion of Brattle's $614 billion DER estimate

A Brattle Group report prepared for Pew estimates distributed energy resources, including customer batteries and flexible load, could avoid $614 billion in US power system costs through 2050. Three process reforms from Pew's DER policy playbook account for $266 billion. For utilities, the most practical finding is a roughly 40% cut in overbuild costs if forecast demand falls short.

  • 01Incorporating distributed resources into distribution system planning, reducing permitting costs and reforming interconnection account for $266 billion of the $614 billion in avoided power system costs through 2050, a little over two-fifths of the total.
  • 02If forecast load growth falls short, leaning on distributed resources cuts the cost of overbuilt grid infrastructure by $33 billion between 2030 and 2040, about 40%, which makes DERs a hedge against uncertain data center demand.
  • 03The near-term test sits in PJM, where Google is funding a Voltus program to aggregate up to 100 MW of distributed capacity a year for three years.

How to match an EV depot’s charging plan to its PG&E subscription

How to match an EV depot’s charging plan to its PG&E subscription

A worked example explains PG&E’s 15-minute demand measurement, excess-kW fees and grace period—and the decisions a fleet team can make from them.

  • 01Review 15-minute average demand and the maximum within the billing period.
  • 02The overage rate applies to excess kW; it does not double the entire electricity bill.
  • 03Use the grace period to compare the charging plan with measured demand and confirm adjustment timing.

Why MNL grazes sheep under Minnesota solar arrays instead of mowing

Why MNL grazes sheep under Minnesota solar arrays instead of mowing

MNL, interviewed by Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions at the MnSEIA event in Minneapolis, explains how sheep grazing and native plantings replace mowing on utility-scale solar sites. Minnesota's Habitat Friendly Solar standard requires 70% native seed, Enel North America reports over 200% improvement in soil organic matter at a Minnesota site, and ASGA counts 130,000 grazed acres across 30 states.

  • 01Minnesota law lets a solar owner claim pollinator benefits only if at least 70% of the site is planted to native seed under BWSR's standard.
  • 02Enel North America says its Minnesota solar grazing site showed over 200% improvement in soil organic matter, and BWSR has documented more than 40 native insect species on enrolled sites.
  • 03NREL-authored data from 54 sites puts total vegetation costs for native cover slightly above turfgrass in the first three to five years, while California solar farms pay graziers $50 to $150 an acre.
