Smart Load Growth
Support load growth while minimizing costs and environmental impact. 
This challenge can be addressed through a range of solutions, with some technology areas of interest outlined below.
1
Support new generation technologies (e.g. geothermal).
2
Energy storage planning, procurement, deployment & integration, O&M and decommissioning practices. Including utility-owned energy storage systems.
3
Improve the economic viability of energy storage technologies through value propositions, costs, and benefits accurately.
4
Long duration technology solutions and lithium-ion battery alternatives.
5
Minimize energy storage related safety risks and hazardous impacts on workers, communities, public and property.
6
Resiliency solutions for residential and mid-market customers. On-site backup utility offerings (generators/solar/wind/batteries), grid hardening methods and technologies, and targeted solutions for unexpected outages.
7
Utility offerings such as local generation and/or storage and customer side transfer switches and advanced building envelope/passive measures.
8
Grid configuration (loops vs radials), additional switching, and other hardening efforts can also mitigate customer impact.
9
Optimize land use and energy production while minimizing environmental impact.
10
Combine energy generation with agricultural practices (i.e. agrivoltaics).
11
Remote sensing/monitoring tools for environmental impact assessment.
12
Tools to assist in adherence to evolving environmental laws.
13
Monitor, verify, and/or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
14
Ensure a safe and efficient coal-to-nuclear power transition.
15
Minimize water consumption in energy production and energy use in water management.
