When we talk about DG we talk about the lower cost energy, distribution level capacity, operating reserves and grid resilience – not to mention higher integration of renewable energy to the grid. How big is the opportunity to scale up? Our session leaders will discuss:

• Increased competition - good for consumers, bad for pricing? 

• What benefits does DG provide in terms of resiliency and solving for intermittency and affordability? How can we capitalize on those provisions? 

• Integrating Virtual Power Plants - how can they optimize DG assets? For new capacity deployments, is the centralized utility model economically obsolete?

• What factors help developers identify regions best suited for new buildout?
