California regulators are on the cusp of breaking open a long-awaited opportunity to enlist rooftop solar, behind-the-meter batteries and other distributed energy resources (DERs) to substitute for expensive grid upgrades. One clear opportunity is getting them to respond to utility signals to reduce peak loads on local grid circuits.
