Future of the Grid

December 1, 2014 Resources, White Papers

The GridWise Alliance, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), recently launched Phase II of our Future of the Grid Initiative: Transitioning to the Future Grid.

The evolution of our electric system is underway and is creating new opportunities and challenges that, while exciting, also introduce uncertainty into the process. Understanding the implications of the many options and changes affecting the grid will be essential for meeting America’s need for secure, reliable, and affordable electricity now and in the future.

To provide clarity and help stakeholders navigate the transition, Secretary Moniz has charged us with implementing the initial recommendations in our report from Phase I of this initiative entitled, “Future of the Grid: Evolving to Meet America’s Needs.”

Download the full Future of the Grid report

These recommendations include:
  • Establishing clear and comprehensive guiding principles to shape grid modernization;
  • Facilitating industry input into unifying architectures to ensure interoperability across the entire grid infrastructure and markets;
  • Creating frameworks to guide local/state/regional policy makers and utilities in their transition to the future grid;
  • Crafting solutions through stakeholder engagement and education; and
  • Identifying technology challenges and limitations through robust research and analysis

This report was developed through a year-long multi-stakeholder effort. It outlines a vision for the nation’s electric system for the year 2030 and beyond, and provides recommendations for achieving that vision. The second phase of this Initiative will consist of developing a transition framework, using a holistic, system-oriented approach, that could help local, state, regional and federal (as appropriate) decision makers as they transition to this Grid of the Future and consider implications to investment and policy choices as well as market structures and utility business and regulatory models.

For more information about Phase II of the Future of the Grid Initiative, please contact Bryan Nicholson at (202) 530-9740 or bnicholson@gridwise.org.

We applaud the U.S. Senate bipartisan infrastructure group for its leadership with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The bill's grid provisions are historic investments for modernizing the electric grid. https://gridwise.org/praises-senate-bipartisan-infrastructure-group-on-electric-grid-investments/

Yes! And a perfect reference to the 2009 DOE #SGIG program that enabled "more than 200 electric utilities and providers to preform resiliency upgrades to their transmission and distribution networks, metering infrastructure and customer systems" Refresh and repeat.

I’m proud that @Exelon has joined @gridwisedc and leaders across the industry in calling on Congress to fund $50 billion in necessary investments for grid modernization. Modernizing the grid means supporting reliability, resilience, & equitable access to affordable electricity.
