Wood Mackenzie Focus:US Market Opportunity for Flex Services and Impacts of FERC 2222

• 28 10月 2021

WoodMac estimates by 2025, DER capacity added since 2016 will be comparable to renewables on the bulk generation side. Passed in 2020, FERC Order 2222 will enable DERs to participate alongside traditional resources in the regional organized wholesale markets through aggregation. This mandate is creating the conditions for DERs to create additional revenue streams in wholesale markets and consequently improve the economics for distributed generation and energy storage. But how can DER aggregation and orchestration technologies like virtual power plants (VPPs) help build DER business models? And what are the ways in which this value stacking opportunity can be broken down? Wood Mackenzie’s Global Head of Grid Edge Ben Hertz-Shargel will join IBM and some of the leading utilities and distributed generation companies in the United States to examine the different impacts of FERC 2222, shedding light on these fundamental questions: • What is the expected size of the DER in America? How will FERC 2222 affect the DER business models? And what are the key unknowns? • What is the market today for storage-based virtual power plants? And how will it evolve in a FERC 2222-impacted world? • How will EVs affect bulk power and distribution systems?
