Load Growth Series
These articles are the first two in a series with Public Utilities Fortnightly focusing on load growth as both a challenge and opportunity for the continued evolution of the U.S. power sector. The series will present innovative solutions to meet this new era of load growth in a way that is more resilient, affordable, and clean.
Utilities and large load customers, policymakers and regulators, consumer advocates and nonprofits alike are seeking to better understand emerging practices and workable approaches to facilitating this new demand reliably and affordably while meeting all customers’ needs.
Emerging innovations include new pricing and contracting terms via large load tariffs, opportunities to expand and refine resource sourcing to serve new loads, methods for increased transparency in load interconnection and load forecasting, and more extensive reforms to long-term planning. This series will unpack these intersecting themes, providing both broad insights and specific case studies that are emerging in markets across the country.
