New York State Public Service Commission’s Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative is designed to reform New York State’s energy industry and regulatory practices.  This initiative will lead to regulatory changes that promote more efficient use of energy, deeper penetration of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, along with wider deployment of “distributed” energy resources such as microgrids, on-site power supplies and storage.  It will also promote greater use of advanced energy management products to enhance demand elasticity and efficiencies.  These changes, in turn, will empower customers by allowing them more choice in how they manage and consume electric energy.

 

As part of the NY PSC's REV proceeding, the Staff of the NY State Department of Public Service (DPS) released the REV Straw Proposal on "Developing the REV Market in NY" on Friday, August 22^nd, 2014.  The Straw Proposal synthesizes the research and recommendations from the many subcommittees established in the first phase of the REV initiative and offers a final set of recommendations.  The comment period on the Straw Proposal ends September 22^nd, 2014.  Agrion has partnered with the NYS Smart Grid Consortium to provide a webinar in which DPS Staff will review and discuss the highlights of the straw proposal, field questions from webinar participants, and review the process for filing comments and participating in the next track of the proceeding.
