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.

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.

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.

Requires Oregon’s utilities to provide open access to critical distribution system data for grid edge resource developers, to improve the interconnection process and market transparency. The order mandates that utilities publish hosting capacity information and past interconnection study reports on a set schedule . By improving data access, the order helps third-party providers identify where they can safely connect grid edge resources and participate in energy markets, while allowing regulators to monitor interconnection and market activity to prevent discriminatory practices.

This draft manual documents how New York’s joint utilities (as Distributed System Platforms [DSPs]) plan to share information and coordinate with grid edge resource aggregators and the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO). It defines roles, data needs, and interaction sequences to ensure that aggregators can bid grid edge resources into NYISO markets without compromising distribution safety or power quality . For example, it outlines notifications the utility (DSP) provides about feeder conditions and how aggregators communicate grid edge resource dispatch schedules to the DSP .
