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 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.
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.
