Changing climate conditions will continue to impact investment choices in energy production and generation and the infrastructure used to deliver energy to customers. Although significant gains in efficiency continue to be made, new sources of power will be required to meet growing demand and support a national clean energy strategy. Industry participants and customers have more technology choices and service options available to them than ever before. With the proliferation of distributed energy resources (DER) located at or close to loads, including demand management and DER aggregation, customers are meeting some of their own energy needs and retail energy providers are supplying energy to customers previously served by utilities.
