No advancement of interoperability can be achieved without the involvement and alignment of the multiple stakeholders in the ecosystem that manages, operates, serves, and oversees the various components of this complex system of electricity consumption, generation, and delivery. If you generate or use electricity, or produce equipment that uses electricity then this impacts you. We plan to hold our first stakeholder meeting on September 27-28, 2016 in Chicago, IL.

If you have an appreciation of the role of systems integration in grid connectivity, a working knowledge of interoperability and the principles behind it, and strong connections with other industry stakeholders seeking to improve the integration of distributed energy resources and to advance grid modernization, we encourage you to please SAVE THE DATE – September 27-28, 2016 – and plan to attend a day and a half meeting to help develop a strategic vision for interoperability.

Watch for a follow-up message with the venue, agenda, and meeting objectives shortly.
