Need For and Use of Information: As the Balancing Authority of the

growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on the distribution
system, TVA and the Local Power Companies (LPCs) must work in tighter
coordination to ensure the DER generation does not impact the
reliability of the bulk electric system. To support this goal, TVA must
understand the current distribution capabilities of the LPCs. Examples
of capabilities include but are not limited to customer analytics,
advanced asset management, advanced AMI, automated switching, DER
monitoring & control, grid planning and voltage optimization. To ease
access and completion, information will be submitted online. Once
collected, the information will be reviewed by TVA staff and
consultants to determine each LPC's state of and plan for system
modernization and will inform strategic investment roadmaps and
implementation plans that are being developed as part of the Regional
Grid Transformation initiative. Summary

level information will be provided to the participating LPCs to allow
them to gauge where they stand in terms of their technical capabilities
compared to their peers which could help give them useful information
that informs their individual priorities and investment plans.
