The next move is adding this to CIP expenditure queues for the future. Getting all stakeholders on the same page has and is still a problem. Regional ISOs, Generators and TaDS (Transmission and Distribution System) are all looking for a better position in the infrastructure upgrade ‘challenge’.

The industry has to move on from the paradigm of, burn fuel, generate electricity and dispatch as the grid demands, to take over generation from (any) resource, store the energy, time shift, then dispatch as the grid demands more power in say 30 minute increments instead of running many fueled generation plants in standby reserve, whether the energy is needed or not, these standby plants and Peaker plants are burning fuel to be “ready” to service grid load demands.
