The frameworks in this slide deck can help those in the power sector understand and analyze key power system design criteria, different constructs for future utility business models, and evaluation criteria for the different utility business model constructs. SEPA developed a set of frameworks to help synthesize the collective insights gathered from Phase III of the 51st State Initiative.

What’s in the report: Overview of the pressures, threats, and opportunities facing the U.S. power sector, six criteria and three additional factors influencing power system design, four consensus doctrines that can serve as starting points for stakeholder conversations, five potential future distribution system utility business model constructs (and their pros and cons), frameworks for evaluating the boundaries of the natural monopoly with regard to the various key functions of the distribution system, review of traditional and innovative revenue mechanisms that can ensure financial sustainability of monopoly functions and the least-regrets moves to avoid hampering investment in DER and grid modernization.
