Note from the editor Not tired of the Department of Energy's grid study yet? Good, because Utility Dive is bringing more analysis in a series of op-eds from top power sector thought leaders.
The series will run through next week, and our contributors run the gamut of clean energy groups, former FERC commissioners and free-market think tanks. To kick off our series, we have a piece from Energy Innovation, highlighting ways the study could be used to boost grid flexibility.
Please send us your tips, quips and insight to the links below. As always, thank you for reading Utility Dive.
