What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Strong real-world evidence (Great River Energy ~49% peak gain; PPL Electric >$23M/yr congestion savings; National Grid ~£14-20M/yr) and a FERC AAR compliance floor make GETs/DLR a proven, deployable lever — but gains are bounded by network bottlenecks and full DLR is not yet mandated, so guardrails on scope and operational integration are needed.
Next
Pair AAR compliance (already mandated) with targeted DLR sensor pilots on congested corridors; model downstream limiting elements before claiming capacity gains, and integrate DLR into real-time/market operations (as PPL Electric did)
