This solicitation funds technology demonstration and deployment projects that increase the value proposition of distributed energy resources to customers and the grid. Specifically, this solicitation aims to expedite energization timelines, reduce ratepayer costs, and target other technical, regulatory, and operational barriers associated with commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure paired with behind-the-meter (BTM) microgrids by incorporating advanced power control and energy management systems and energizing through investor-owned utility (IOU) flexible service agreements.
