Changing uses of the electric grid: reliability challenges and concerns
New business models and emerging energy technologies, like rooftop solar, microgrids, and distributed generation could put affordable electricity and the reliability of the electric grid at risk unless the harmful effects of ratemaking subsidies are addressed. That is according to “Changing Uses of the Electric Grid: Reliability Challenges and Concerns,” prepared for the Electric Markets Research Foundation (EMRF) by Build Energy America, a Washington, D.C., energy consulting firm.
The study compared the traditional grid-based electric utility service model based on the sharing of all electricity costs by all ratepayers with a new business model reinforced by subsidies and incentives. The report points out net metering as an example of potential impacts.
