Quick take
17/08/2017 “Adapting to change” – Jack Thirolf, Enel Green Power North America, Inc.
Focus for this morning
1 Who/what is Enel? Large, innovative utility embracing and trying to lead the
transitions we’re talking about today.
2 Grid operators and utilities in many states have been utilizing demand
response, energy storage, and other advances to adapt to a rapidly changing
mix without sacrificing reliability. Yes! I will share with you a few examples of
Enel’s work and thinking.
3 Can changes in baseload energy resources be effectively managed with new
technologies and management practices? Yes, but we have to be smart and it
will increasingly require changes in system and market design.
4 How will markets incorporate and value these new approaches? Probably
reactively and through a diverse set of models. We have to value flexible resources
on the generation and demand side.

Challenges and choices for policymakers
• Value flexibility of supply and flexibility of demand at the wholesale and
retail levels.
- Wholesale: debate between pure energy vs. capacity + energy markets
vs. separate markets for variable power and dispatchable power.
- Retail: give customers choices for greater participation and control.
• Invest in the physical grid at the transmission and distribution levels,
including increased bandwidth.
- Enable the creation, aggregation, storage, analysis, sharing and
protection of data to facilitate the flexible system.
- Expand and integrate physical markets to decrease overall variability.
