How Can the NEM Benefit from Micro-Grid, Off-Grid and Distributed Energy Resources Innovations?

Synopsis

• What battery storage technologies are proving most successful in off-grid applications, and how could these be scaled for NEM integration?
• How are developers overcoming the technical challenges of integrating multiple DERs in isolated grid environments?
• What innovative financing models are emerging for off-grid projects that could transform investment in the NEM?
• How are supply chain constraints affecting project economics differently in WEM versus NEM markets?
• What regulatory reforms would enable the NEM to better capture value from distributed off-grid innovations?
