I was involved in various CPUC regulatory proceedings on these maps and made the same kinds of comments frequently. The watchword is “actionable.” If the maps aren’t actionable (b/c they’re not accurate) they ‘re actually worse than useless. The next step beyond ensuring accuracy and actionability is automating interconnection applications based on specific map grid circuits and line sections, with “click and claim” capabilities that link these maps with automated interconnection portals. These next wave automation features will allow the distributed energy revolution to truly take off.
