With all AMI meters installed (December 2024), City staff can begin to use smart meter data to inform grid management strategies, project local load, and prioritize infrastructure improvements. Specifically, City staff has begun to use data to identify and study the grid impacts of residential and commercial EV installations. City staff also will use this data to support load forecasting for generation and distribution management, as well as appropriate customer programming and energy rate design. City staff continues to work with Platte River Power Authority and the other owner communities on local battery storage that will support distribution grid management and resilience, as well as customer programming that will support load management.
Beginning to use AMI data to identify the location and grid impacts of both residential and commercial EVs to prepare for charge management programs and to help inform distribution grid planning efforts.
Established a Distributed Energy Resources (DER) database for solar and battery systems to better prepare for solar forecasting capabilities and to help inform distribution grid planning efforts and will continue to populate as DERs join the system.
