PWU Submission on IESO York Region NWA Demonstration Project EPRI Study, Aug 17, 2023 The IESO is seeking feedback on the draft Electricity Research Power Institute (EPRI) Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Scenarios and Modelling Study findings prepared for the IESO’s York Region Non-Wires Alternative (NWA) demonstration project. In response to questions posed by the IESO, the PWU commented that the EPRI study suggests that there was only marginal value in stacking distribution and wholesale services, the opportunity does not warrant the creation of a Distribution System Operator (DSO) model, there is not sufficient detail to evaluate the coordination models, and there is not sufficient assurance of the feasibility of using DERs for wholesale purposes.
