introduction
title
Solar ready distribution grid mapping
short description
Distribution grid map of solar/DER capability and hosting capacity
Eligibility
Full Description
Only a few utilities in the country have provided geospatial information that explains which distribution grid feeders have capacity for solar/DERs vs. which ones would require additional upgrades (costly) in order to handle more solar/DER penetration.
