The Maryland Public Service Commission has scheduled a hearing to approve updated Small Generator Interconnection Standards on September 5, 2018. CRI is co-chairing the Smart Inverter Subgroup in the Maryland Public Conference 44 (PC44) grid modernization docket, and the updated standards include Subgroup recommendations on the use of smart inverter features to support economical DER deployment. The Subgroup is now developing a “roadmap” for timely adoption of the new IEEE-1547-2018 smart inverter standard statewide.
