@TKavulla @ManhattanInst I helped publish research on AFUDC and CWIP by Environmental Action Foundation in 1977. I remember going to the FPC public reading room many times to collect data from physical copies of Form 1s. Rick Morgan, later DC Commissioner, was the lead researcher.

@Wash_cycle I went and used the CCT and the Virginia Ave protected bike lanes to get there. We need more protected bike lanes in the DMV!

@drvolts Note that I had already thrown in the towel on VPPs. As used my most, a VPP is essentially a demand response aggregation or a DER aggregation. I finally gave up fighting, and accepted VPP. DPP would also be fine if everyone used it.

[David Kathan @dwkathan]

@drvolts I prefer DPP to VPP, but I worry that the train has already left the station, e.g., Maryland's DRIVE Act requires VPPs. In addition, I worry that DPP implies that it is a physical powerplant located on the distribution grid. VPPs and DER aggregations can include demand actions.

[Mission:data @mission_data]

Democrats are excluding DERs from lowering prices in the record-shattering PJM capacity market by allowing data blocking by utilities to continue.

If FERC approves a tariff that requires customer data for DERs, that data MUST be accessible!

Former #FERC Chairmen @jbwellinghoff & @FERChatterjee make the case for accelerated implementation of FERC Order No. 2222, which they share as a readily available, bipartisan #energypolicy solution to the waning reliability & affordability of the grid. https://t.co/eXJ6UVvEU7

We’d like to announce that while we are not a hotel, we are a concept of a hotel.
