“Part of that planning is understanding the reliability impacts of future resource mixes. We want to make sure the plan we build is going to be reliable under a wide range of conditions the system might face.”

“The acquisition of Rayburn Energy Station marked our first major step into local, dispatchable natural gas generation, and the planned RES II expansion builds on that. These projects redefine what it means for a G&T cooperative to lead through reliability investment.”

“It’s been rewarding, seeing how the work in energy efficiency and in demand-side management is contributing to keeping the lights on in Ontario when grid demand is high.”

“This pilot showed that virtual power plants can evolve beyond simple peak-shaving into flexible, dispatchable assets that support grid reliability and affordability.”

“The real leap happened when we created a dedicated GIS team and gave them the resources and time to push the technology further. The result is a common operating platform for the entire company.”

“We developed a testbench. We established a standardized process in our testbench, which enables us to evaluate different OEM inverter models and resolve issues with customers before commencing with transmission studies.”

“Sensors aren’t just installed for fault identification. They can identify where there are low impedance faults, which are faults that are not high enough amplitude to operate a protective device or a fuse. So, the line remains energized and could be lying on the ground.”

“Eighty percent of the rebates paid by ComEd through our EV programs have gone to low-income customers or those located in Equity Investment Eligible Communities. This is an unprecedented statistic in the EV space and is a blueprint for other jurisdictions.”

“The new configuration of these lines was innovative. The arrangement of the wires and circuits on the structures, installation across the Patapsco River, and elevation we were working with all contributed to this being an innovative solution to an odd problem.”

“The success of this first locational dispatch event supercharged what we thought we could do and will drive us forward. Our initial learnings from the event will allow us to sharpen our capabilities and respond more quickly next time.”
