Grid Roundup #25: DER Policy, Texas Energy Fund, and More

In this issue, I cover today's Texas Energy Fund announcement, movement on DER policies, a demand response rulemaking, CenterPoint's rate case appeal, and an important ancillary service review

In this edition of the Grid Roundup, I’ll cover:

• CenterPoint’s appeal of the Administrative Law Judge’s denial of their request to withdraw their rate case;

• Residential demand response rule published for comment;

• PUC announces chosen recipients for Texas Energy Fund loans, allocates $5.4 billion, likely leaving nothing for out-of-ERCOT loans, microgrids, or completion bonuses;

• DER interconnection policy finally moving forward; and

• Ancillary service review held yesterday at ERCOT Technical Advisory Committee; Commission staff-led workshop scheduled for Halloween.
