Energy Justice Considerations in Energy Policy and Utility Cost Recovery

Historically, the timing, magnitude, and location of demand in electrical grids was easy to forecast, and the supply was highly controllable.

Historically, the timing, magnitude, and location of demand in electrical grids was easy to forecast, and the supply was highly controllable. With the growth in variable renewable energy, distributed energy resources, and electrification of buildings and transportation, this is no longer the case.
