Powering Progress:

Unlocking the Potential of Holistic Energy System Planning




 

An Energy Exemplar Webinar Series on Holistic Energy Planning


The energy industry is undergoing a period of significant disruption - enacting an energy transition, coping with extreme weather events, and navigating the dynamics of a more involved consumer. The evolving energy system has many interdependencies and variables, and to maintain a reliable and affordable grid, utilities and energy companies will need to adopt a holistic planning method that accounts for that.  Integrated System Planning (ISP) is this new, holistic approach, providing a blueprint for the power system of the future and all major power system pieces - spanning generation, transmission, distribution, and customer programs. 

This three-part Energy Exemplar webinar series explores how utilities, investors, planners, and developers can adopt holistic energy planning strategies to overcome critical challenges in modeling connected energy systems, scaling renewables and battery energy storage systems (BESS), ensuring reliability, and optimizing investment decisions.

Grid-level Renewables & BESS Investments Assessment using Integrated System Planning

In this 45-minute session, we explored how Integrated System Planning enabled energy stakeholders to overcome key hurdles and make data-driven, future-proof decisions. We began with a foundational look at renewable energy and BESS, discussing the technical and economic challenges they posed and their impact on power system stability and planning.

We covered:

  • Enhanced Planning Accuracy through Integrated Modeling
    Discover how holistic modeling across generation, transmission, and storage improves forecasting, reduces uncertainty, and supports long-term system planning.
  • Learned how integrated planning enables coordinated investment and operational strategies, helping stakeholders maximize asset performance and grid resilience.
  • Saw how system-level analysis provides actionable insights into evolving market dynamics, decarbonization pathways, and infrastructure readiness.
  • Exploring emerging trends, regulatory shifts, and market design factors shaping investment and operational decisions in tomorrow’s energy landscape.

Whether you're a project developer, investor, planner, or analyst, this session will equip you with a clear framework for evaluating grid-level investments in the renewable and storage era.

Integrated System Planning: Unlocking Opportunities for Holistic Planning

Energy Exemplar and E3 dives into the challenges of traditional siloed resource planning, which often separates generation, transmission, distribution, and distributed energy resource (DER) considerations. They explore a more integrated system planning approach that aligns these components to better reflect the evolving energy landscape.

Through recent case studies and real-world examples, the discussion highlighted how leading utilities and planners are adopting holistic strategies to improve reliability, resilience, and cost-effectiveness. Special emphasis is placed on the role of PLEXOS, a powerful modeling platform, in enabling comprehensive planning by simulating complex interactions across the energy value chain.

This session offers insights into emerging practices that drive more informed investment decisions and foster a more adaptable, future-ready grid.
