EPRI Research Initiative: Advanced Energy Communities
“Imagine the impact if there were thousands of these housing developments. Taken together with many
other changes in how energy is consumed will have a profound impact on the electric business”
- Ted Craver, CEO, Edison International, 2016
Advanced Energy Communities (AEC):
- Provide customer value through resilience, cost and comfort
- Demonstrate interaction of multiple customer resources with EE,
DR, PV, storage, electrification and EVs
- Achieve larger utility and societal goals such as decarbonization,
grid hardening and grid support
– Decarbonization & Electrification
– Customer Resiliency & Local Energy
– Community integration of energy technologies
– Customer data acquisition and analytics

A focus on resilience
Resiliency as a driver is growing, and fast becoming critical:
– Large scale catastrophic events like Hurricane Sandy and wildfires
– Emergence of technologies such as solar PV and battery storage
– Trend towards decentralization of utility system
Resilience for large customers is not new
– But they are now aiming to meet resilience needs with solar and storage instead of just fossil fuel generation
A new trend is small customers such as homeowners also opting for resilience due to affordability of local storage
