Exploring Opportunities for Energy Parks: The Promise and Potential of Energy Parks
Presented at National Academies Webinar
These slides, “Exploring Opportunities for Energy Parks: The Promise and Potential of Energy Parks,” were presented at a National Academies webinar on Thursday, February 12.
Main takeaways include:
- 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.
