Recorded 01/10/2018 [ARCHIVED WEBINAR] A new tool known as Hosting Capacity Analysis (HCA) can help integrate and optimize consumer-driven distributed energy resources—such as solar, wind, energy storage and electric vehicles—as an integral component of the grid. From coast to coast, HCAs are being evaluated through numerous state and utility grid modernization, distribution planning and interconnection reform efforts. In this webinar, authors Sky Stanfield, Stephanie Safdi & Sara Baldwin Auck provided an overview and insights on the findings and recommendations from the guide, including lessons learned from states already engaged in HCA efforts.
