SUMMARY:i2X STITCH Meeting 2: Regional Study Processes
DESCRIPTION:ESIG in collaboration with Berkeley Lab\, is facilitating Studies\, Tools and Interconnection Consistency and Harmonization Meetings (STITCH) as part of the DOE’s Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) initiative.  The i2X STITCH initiative is intended to explore interconnection studies across the US and identify ways where harmonization and automations can help improve the speed and reliability of new generation resource interconnections. The effort will consist of a sequence of collaboration meetings with industry stakeholders and subject matter experts to dive into each region and explore their practices\, which will serve as a reference for a technical report on this topic that will lay out areas for harmonization improvements. \n\n\n\nThe format of the meetings will include presentations followed by structured discussions around differences and harmonization opportunities. Presenters will be asked to cover a similar set of topics to ensure they cover interconnection process milestones\, study methods and assumptions\, pre-interconnection and study tools and automations\, etc. \n\n\n\nJune 23\, 2026: Regional Study Processes \n\n\n\n\nMISO\n\n\n\nPJM\n\n\n\nDeveloper with regional experience (or consultant)\n\n\n\n\nregister for june 23 stitch meeting

SUMMARY:Webinar: EV Load Forecasting Guide
DESCRIPTION:Greg Mandelman\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: Greg Mandelman\, Director of Analytics & Energy Programs\, Electric Power Engineers (EPE) \n\n\n\nModerator: Matt Schuerger\, Senior Fellow\, ESIG \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar: Forecasting for EV charging loads is unlike any forecasting exercise utilities\, regulators\, and stakeholders have tackled for before — it’s mobile\, shaped by human behavior\, and can concentrate quickly enough to strain local distribution systems without proper planning. With light-duty EV market share growing from 2% to over 10% between 2020 and 2025\, robust forecasting has become essential to avoiding both costly over-builds and unprepared grids. This webinar introduces ESIG’s recently released EV Load Forecasting Guide\, which distills input from industry experts\, regulators\, and subject matter interviews into 20 best practices spanning how to scope\, implement\, review\, and apply an EV load forecast. Join the experts behind the Guide for a practical walkthrough of the framework and how to put it to work in your jurisdiction. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Greg Mandelman brings over 15 years of leadership in utility\, software\, and consulting\, with deep expertise in transportation electrification\, load forecasting\, Time-Varying Pricing (TVP)\, and Demand Response (DR). At EPE\, Greg leads the development and deployment of the Utility Practice’s forecasting\, modeling\, and analytics solutions. Over the course of his career\, Greg has led groundbreaking projects on zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption\, charging infrastructure forecasting\, and grid impact analysis\, leveraging advanced analytics to drive innovation. His work has shaped industry-leading solutions in electrification\, grid planning\, and data-driven energy strategies\, earning recognition as a trusted expert in the energy sector. \n\n\n\nThe Q&A for this session will be facilitated on Slido.
