The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) was awarded a $96,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience (CFDA 81.254) program. The grant will fund LADWP's Community Grid Innovation Program (CGIP), which consists of two primary components:
-
A Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) to enhance LADWP's grid operations visibility and ability to dynamically dispatch more than 150 MW of distributed energy resources (DERs).
-
Expansion of LADWP's DER integration programs to further develop and integrate DERs with the DERMS, improving grid flexibility, reliability, and resilience.
The 5-year project, with a start date of September 1, 2024, aims to provide LADWP with greater control and visibility over its distribution system, enabling more effective response to grid fluctuations through precise DER dispatch.
