With this comes a surge in electricity use, mostly from cooling systems. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is predicting a historic demand of over 80,000 MW , putting immense pressure on the state’s power grid. Texas heat waves often result in slim reserve margins, where supply barely meets demand.

At the recent National Association of Regulatory Commission (NARUC) Summer Policy Summit, I saw up close the growing concern about grid reliability among state regulators, utilities and the industry at large. Tapping DERs to make power grids more reliable is also not a new concept. This issue is not limited to the U.S.
