If you haven’t heard much about distributed energy before, you’re likely to hear a lot more soon, as results from various demonstration projects across Ontario, some of them funded through the IESO’s Conservation Fund, begin to inform big changes in how Ontario’s electricity system operates.
Projects such as POWER.HOUSE provide a glimpse of what might happen when embedded generation increases to a more significant portion of Ontario’s installed capacity.
Distributed energy resources will give consumers a way to make consumption and conservation decisions based on supply conditions and price, enabling them to make more informed choices.
