Comments of Indiana Michigan Power describing the proposed responsibilities of aggregators and utilities regarding the creation of new databases, tariffs, and registration processes.

Comments of Northern Indiana Public Service Company, LLC (NIPSCO) in IURC's FERC Order 2222 proceeding. NIPSCO proposes interconnection process reforms for grid edge resources and describes a new data package template.

Establish a utility-developed data access rule to facilitate sharing of customer energy usage data for energy planning and grid edge resource deployment, even absent a direct mandate. After stakeholder pressure, Duke proposed new rules to provide aggregated energy data on request—for example, total building usage across tenants—under privacy safeguards. The goal is to arm cities and large users with the data needed to pursue energy targets (like right-sizing grid edge resource installations and efficiency projects) . Operationally, the plan streamlines what was a “laborious process” of gathering tenant permissions by allowing authorized parties (e.g., a city) to get whole-building or campus load data from the utility directly. This voluntary model—now pending regulator approval—demonstrates a utility facilitating customer data sharing to enable grid edge resource investments and initiatives at the local level, beyond what regulations explicitly required.

Refer to the section titled "Customer Data Access" at the bottom of the document.

This document, filed in docket number 2024-00310, describes Efficiency Maine's plan to develop a new program titled Renewable Reliability to deploy up to 1700 new small commercial and residential battery systems. Efficiency Maine will offer aggregators $200/kW per year based on capacity made available during peak periods. Aggregators are responsible for compensating customers.

Outlines the processes and steps Nevada Energy is implementing for distribution planning and grid edge resource planning. Describes processes put in place for transportation electrification planning.

The linked docket desrcribes Oncor's system resiliency plan, which describes the company's proposed grid upgrades and enhancements to address severe weather outages and other physical and cybersecurity risks. The plan focuses on overhead and underground resiliency and modernization, distribution automation, vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, and enhanced physical security (asset monitoring and protection) and cyber risk mitigation.

Provides Duquesne Light Company's recommendations and process evolution details regarding grid edge resource participation in wholesale markets.

Eversource Energy's Electric Sector Modernization Plan describes the actions the utility is taking and the investments it is making to build infrastructure and technology platforms to help accommodate grid edge resources (among other objectives).

A DOE-sponsored report that establishes a standard Distribution Services Contract between an electric distribution utility and a grid edge resource aggregator. It defines consistent terms for grid edge resource services and outlines processes to validate aggregator registration information (e.g., grid edge resource locations, sizes, technologies, and planned markets) against distribution tariffs, interconnection requirements, and wholesale market rules. The contract framework covers validation and qualification of grid edge resource aggregations, ensuring each resource meets eligibility criteria (such as retail program limits and wholesale market minimums) before participation.

The U.S. Department of Energy published a comprehensive Grid Edge Resource Aggregator Code of Conduct to establish standards for aggregator behavior, ensuring transparent and fair interactions with consumers. This code addresses advertising practices, sales behavior, competition, and consumer enrollment processes, aiming to build consumer trust and facilitate effective partnerships between aggregators and customers.

Establishes a code of conduct for distribution utilities to ensure non-discriminatory, open access distribution service as grid edge resource aggregations grow under FERC Order 2222. It adapts Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC’s) transmission open-access principles (non-discrimination, independent functioning, no conduit, transparency) to the distribution level . The document provides example guidelines to prevent conflicts of interest when utilities both operate the grid and compete in grid edge resource markets, ensuring ongoing compliance with fair access rules.

Filed as a compliance report to the Minnesota PUC, this document outlines Xcel's processes for sharing distribution hosting capacity data with external stakeholders. It describes the public-facing Hosting Capacity Map (an online heat map and tabular data showing available capacity on each feeder) and a public grid edge resource interconnection queue—both hosted on Xcel's website. The report explains what data are provided (e.g., generation and load hosting capacity on each circuit, updated quarterly, and a queue of pending grid edge resource projects updated monthly) and how these tools are kept current. It also details Xcel's stakeholder engagement (including workshops for developers) to refine these data-sharing tools, with the goal of streamlining the interconnection process and increasing transparency for developers and regulators.

Proposal from Xcel Energy for solicitation of NWA services.

Template for a  non-wires alternatives services contract between Xcel Energy and a service provider.

To outline PPL Electric's plan for implementing a grid edge resource management (DERM) device compatible with IEEE 2030.5 smart inverters. This plan aims to enhance the integration and management of grid edge resources within PPL's service territory, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and improving grid reliability.

A set of comments submitted by Indiana Michigan Power (an American Electric Power [AEP] utility) to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) regarding the implementation of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 2222. The document discusses how distribution utilities and regional transmission organizations should coordinate to validate grid edge resource aggregator registrations and market participation. It emphasizes processes for the utility to review and approve grid edge resource aggregation registrations—ensuring compliance with distribution tariffs, preventing double-counting with retail programs, and maintaining distribution grid reliability .

Georgia Power's pilot enhances grid resilience by installing and owning dispatchable grid edge resources (e.g., batteries, generators) at Commercial and Industrial customer sites. Customers sign resiliency service agreements, aggregating ≥1 MW across facilities (≥200 kW each). In return for a monthly service fee, they receive full-value bill credits when grid edge resources are dispatched during grid emergencies or outages. The program defines clear eligibility, compensation terms, and operational rules for islanding and demand response events.

Xcel Energy's 2023 Integrated Distribution Plan describes several measures the company is taking for grid modernization, including proposed investments in cybersecurity and physical security.

Arizona Public Service (APS) proposed a distributed demand-side resources aggregation tariff aimed at facilitating the participation of aggregated grid edge resources in providing demand-side management services. The tariff outlines the terms, conditions, and compensation mechanisms for grid edge resource aggregators, establishing a structured process for their engagement in the energy market. This initiative seeks to enhance grid flexibility and reliability by leveraging distributed resources.

PGE's Distribution System Plan describes how the company evaluates grid needs and also mentions how the company sources NWAs.
