From the meeting
The standards require Rhode Island Energy to file a Three-Year System Reliability Procurement Plan that lays out screening criteria, target system needs, and market-sourced reliability options for the next three years. The plan is meant to show when system needs may be better served by non-utility solutions instead of traditional utility reliability spending. Vendors with flexibility, demand response, distributed generation, or other system-support solutions should track the plan development and annual reporting cycle.
