Woods Mackenzie estimates the U.S. could have up to 380GW of DERs connected to the grid as soon as 2025. This represents tens of millions of DERs entering the ecosystem across many DER asset classes including EV-to-grid and grid-to-EV charging and interconnection, smart solar inverters, energy storage, microgrids, and many other intelligent devices.

Together, these will create potentially billions of DER-to-grid transactions. One likely result will be the need for a new transaction infrastructure. Join our moderator, PLMA Secretary Joe Childs of Eaton, to explore what this infrastructure might be, its benefits, and challenges.

With the electric vehicle industry growing exponentially, it is expected to become a major revenue generator for utilities all over the world. As a result, utilities are beginning to explore opportunities to offer end-to-end EV charging solutions to commercial businesses and homeowners, which will enable them to assume a more significant role in the e-mobility industry.

In this Dialogue, our guest speaker, Driivz CEO Doron Frenkel will demonstrate how, by owning as well as managing EV chargers and the EV owner relationship, utilities can gain maximum visibility of around the availability and stability of the charger network, real-time control of demand response, and also be able to optimize energy management for depot/home charging.
