AI summary Hosting capacity maps are screening-level tools that provide a preliminary assessment of where and how much new electricity generation, such as rooftop solar, can be integrated into the grid without major upgrades. They enhance transparency and assist users in identifying areas where DERs can be easily connected or where grid flexibility is needed.

Overview This strategy helps ensure DERs can be interconnected and operated in a way that preserves system security, protection, and reliability as DER penetration increases. It focuses on interconnection processes and modern technical sta...

AI summary This strategy ensures that distributed energy resources (DERs) can be interconnected and operated safely as their penetration increases. It focuses on modernizing interconnection processes and technical standards to maintain grid reliability and security during normal and abnormal conditions.
