Summary

Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar and battery storage face significant barriers to effective participation in U.S. wholesale electricity markets, primarily due to coordination challenges between wholesale market rules and state-level distribution regulations. This report outlines specific regulatory opportunities and actions for state regulators to advance DER aggregations, particularly in the context of complying with FERC Order 2222. The implementation of these recommendations and FERC Order compliance efforts are currently in progress across various states and regional markets.
