Distributed Energy Resources Are Critical to the Transition to 100% Renewables
Marin: I think distributed energy resources are absolutely critical to the transition and rather than disconnecting, I think they are going to be an integral part of how we get to 100% renewables. The step change scenario in the 2022 ISP is a fivefold increase in distributed solar PV from what we currently have at 15 gigawatts to nearly 70 gigawatts by 2050. So we need to make use of that 70 gigawatts to help to deliver that low cost energy to the power system as a whole. And it seems to me that the household system when you add in grid forming inverters at the local, at the street, at the suburban zone substation level could actually result in a far more
