From the meeting
GLREA said it issued two discovery requests to DTE about implementation of virtual power plants. The meeting also noted that DTE and Consumers Energy plan to file integrated resource plans within three months and may propose gas plants, while GLREA pushed demand response and battery storage options. This is a live utility planning signal with follow-on technical and advisory work potential.
