REV will help move the state’s energy sector towards a decentralized, market-based structure and bring fundamental transformation in electricity distribution and usage in New York State. The REV is envisioned as a key enabler for the next-generation grid which will introduce new roles and opportunities for both utilities and third-party providers of technologies and services at the grid edge.
As a panelist on a “Regulatory and Policy Update” panel held on Wednesday, July 29, 10:30-11:30, O’Brien will examine REV’s major decision-making process to transform the retail electricity market and overhaul New York's energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. O’Brien views the portfolio of grid modernization technologies available today as “offering a tangible means to improve the quality and efficiency of electric service.”
The increasing competitiveness of renewable energy resources, and changes in technology, led NY Governor Cuomo to launch a fundamental transformation in the way that electricity is distributed and used in New York State. “What we’re seeing in NY, is utilities and regulators working together to support this innovation with a modernized application of performance- based regulation (PBR), enabling them to make the pivotal transition from ‘defending spend’ to delivering value,” O’Brien continued.
In addition, the Summit’s distinguished speakers will offer insight on NY REV’s impact as one of the first large-scale initiatives building the utility of the future, examining the development of “distributed system platforms” (DSPs) and the role of utilities going forward. The Summit will also explore prominent elements, trajectories and consequences of many important regulatory, market and technology forces.
