Main takeaways included:
- Energy Parks and similarly proximate portfolios of new loads and generation offer significant market and grid planning benefits.
- Barriers need to be addressed to enable the benefits of such co-location (or near-location) of load and generation.
- Progress is being made (slowly) by grid operators, FERC, and the states.
