This paper, which was sponsored by the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability and produced by ICF, examines the landscape of new technologies that may disrupt electric sector markets, operations, and planning over the next 20 to 25 years, and highlights the potential laws, rules, and regulations that may need reexamination in light of these changes.
