WECC (2032): Potential Bypass Threats from Distributed Generation are Large Percent of 2032 Peak Demand Source: E3 (2013). • WECC-wide Behind-the-Meter DG: 19 GW of solar PV + 7 GW of CHP • Distributed PV based on “interconnection potential” (no back-flow through feeders), with adjustments to reflect relative economics among states • CHP additions represent a fixed percentage (~40%) of technical potential in each state Credit: Western Electricity Coordinating Council

  26. How does the assumption of an HREF affect the business model? (affects utility organization, operations) (affects utility revenues, services) (affects utility investment, operations) (affects utility role, services) • Much higher levels of variable generation at the bulk power scale • Greater penetration of distributed energy resources at the distribution scale • Greater need for flexibility in the grid components, operations, and architecture • Much higher levels of energy efficiency (sufficient to eliminate load growth)
