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.

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.

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.

Proposal from Xcel Energy for solicitation of NWA services.

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.

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.

Xcel Energy's peak flex credit pilot, approved by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in March 2022, enables aggregated retail demand response to participate in Midcontinent Independent System Operator's (MISO's) wholesale market. The 86 MW program is split between utility-enrolled and third-party aggregator customers. Aggregators must enroll at least 100 kW of C&I load and execute an agreement with Xcel. Participants earn bill credits for reducing load during peak events. The program aligns with FERC Order 2222 and MISO protocols, with utility oversight and cost recovery through existing demand response budgets.

Pacific Gas and Electric advice letter seeking approval for and describing the proposed implementation of the company's Remote Grid program.

The Rhode Island System Reliability Procurement program establishes compensation structures that incentivize third-party providers to deliver resilience services. Grid edge resource owners receive performance-based incentives for resilience services, such as load reduction, frequency regulation, and islanding support.
