Regulatory Sandboxes and Other Processes to Expedite Utility Adoption of Advanced Grid Technologies

3 min read

Electricity grids are facing significant pressure from load growth, aging infrastructure, increasingly dynamic operational needs, and severe weather events. Advanced grid technologies can help meet these challenges, but traditional regulatory frameworks may limit utility pathways to innovation. Regulatory sandboxes offer a potential solution by establishing a structured environment for piloting … [continued]
