A Framework for Integrated Distribution System Planning

Lisa Schwartz presented at an Ameren Illinois stakeholder workshop on an objectives-based decision framework for investing in local grids. The interactive decision framework on integrated distribution system planning walks through a stakeholder-informed process for grid investment decisions to address state goals, customer needs, and evolution at the grid edge. Each step of the framework explains what it is, why it's important, stakeholder roles and responsibilities, current and emerging best practices, analytical tools, and resources for more information.
