DSO & DER Integration

The operating model for a two-way grid.

DSO operating model

Becoming a distribution system operator is an operating-model change: new functions (forecasting, dispatch, settlement), new interfaces to the IESO and to aggregators, and new obligations to customers. We map the target model and the staged path to it, matched to your scale.

DERMS readiness and fitment

Before a DERMS procurement, the honest question is what you need it to do in the first three years. We run structured fitment assessments — requirements against vendor capability evidence — so the platform decision follows the operating model, not the other way around.

Local flexibility

We design local flexibility mechanisms sized for mid-market distributors: what to procure, how to value it against wires alternatives, and how to run it without a trading floor. Collaboration models between neighbouring LDCs are part of the toolkit.
