There is no better time than right now to take full advantage of the IRA’s policy framework for rapidly accelerating customer adoption of low-carbon, distributed energy resources (DERs). Technologies such as solar PV, battery storage, and ground-source heat pumps can be deployed by customers, large and small, to create a more resilient grid system while generating savings for end-users. By and large, DERs are financed with private capital sources. But while many Wisconsin residents see DERs as stepping stones to a lower carbon and more electrified energy future, the regulatory environment, largely unchanged since the 1980s, is not well-aligned with this transition, and quite often, installation opportunities remain on the drawing board. Representing a variety of interests and perspectives, the panelists in this session will discuss the benefits and costs of integrating more DERs into the utility resource mix, and identify the policy tools for delivering the promise of DERs to the broader customer base.
