Substation-Sited Generation: A New Frontier for Utility Resilience and Flexibility
- •Utilities are strategically shifting from distribution-circuit distributed generation (DG) to substation-sited generation to unlock broader system-level benefits beyond single-feeder support.
- •This new approach aims to significantly enhance grid resilience and flexibility for all utility types (rural electric cooperatives, municipal systems, and investor-owned utilities).
- •The focus on substation siting creates new development opportunities for generation projects that can provide system-wide benefits, potentially streamlining interconnection and offering new value propositions for developers.
