The Emerging Technologies Working Group (ETWG) serves as a forum to exchange information and discuss technical issues related to emerging technologies’ integration into New England’s bulk power system and participation in the region’s wholesale electricity markets. Examples of emerging technologies would include inverter-based resources, distributed energy resources, or other new technologies that may materialize over time as the industry evolves..
The ETWG reports to the Markets Committee (MC), the Reliability Committee (RC), and the Transmission Committee (TC). Topics for review are referred by the MC, RC, or TC, or relevant discussions may be suggested by stakeholders and the ISO. The ETWG meets on a quarterly basis with additional meetings as necessary.
For details on the ETWG’s role and operation, see the ETWG Charter.
