Stakeholder
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E); community/local government microgrid sponsors or “Community-Based microgrid Aggregators” that partner with PG&E under the program ; California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
A California Public Utilities Commission resolution that approved PG&E's community-based microgrid enablement program and directed PG&E to file a pro forma microgrid operating agreement. The operating agreement outlines the operating protocols and responsibilities between the community-based microgrid operator (aggregator) and PG&E, governing how microgrid projects are developed, tested, and operated under the pilot. This was part of a broader effort to accelerate resilient microgrid projects ahead of wildfire seasons.

This is a DOE-sponsored report (published July 2020) that explains methods for net load baselining and performance evaluation of building-sited grid edge resources, both individually and in aggregation. It outlines how utilities and program operators establish a baseline (counterfactual reference load) for a customer or aggregation and measure actual grid edge resources performance (load reductions or injections) against that baseline .
