On September 19, 2017, CT PURA approved two grid modernization proposals submitted by the Connecticut Light and Power Company – Distributed Energy Resources Portal and Management System and Distributed Energy Resources Hosting Capacity Map. The DER portal will create a two-way communication platform allowing customers and developers to identify more optimal locations for siting and interconnecting DER while the DER map will leverage the DER Portal capabilities to produce information to quickly screen potential sites and focus resources on cost-effective locations.
