A new report from The Brattle Group suggests that load growth could actually help lower rates — if utilities prioritize technologies that free up grid capacity without building new poles and wires.
Those technologies include distributed energy resources like batteries, electric vehicles, smart thermostats, HVACs and other home devices that can quickly shift their power use. Large loads like data centers can also be a flexible asset, the report highlighted, either by bringing their own on-site power or agreeing to curtail electricity use during times of grid stress.
