SETCOM 2025 Special Sessions on

“Accelerating Renewable Adoption: Power System Planning from a


Regulatory Perspective”

Aim: The session aims to explore the critical role of regulatory frameworks in accelerating the adoption of
renewable energy through effective power system planning. It will examine how regulators can address
challenges such as grid integration, policy alignment, and infrastructure development to facilitate a smoother
and faster transition to renewable energy sources.

Scope:

 Regulatory Innovations: Strategies for creating flexible and adaptive regulatory policies that promote
renewable energy integration.
 Grid Modernization: Approaches to planning and upgrading power grids to handle variable
renewable energy sources, like wind and solar.
 Investment and Incentives: Exploring financial incentives, market designs, and regulatory tools to
encourage investment in renewable infrastructure.
 Energy Storage and Flexibility: Regulatory measures to support energy storage systems and other
technologies that enhance grid reliability.
 Decarbonization Goals: Aligning regulatory frameworks with national and international climate
targets to achieve a decarbonized power sector.
 Stakeholder Collaboration: How regulators can collaborate with utilities, private developers, and
consumers to ensure seamless renewable integration.

This session will be of interest to regulators, policymakers, utility operators, and industry professionals
focused on accelerating renewable energy transitions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Enhancing Production Cost and Resource Adequacy Modelling for Renewable Integration
2. Optimizing Transmission Planning for Large-Scale Renewable Integration
3. Role of Market Couplers in Power markets: Pros and Cons
4. Aligning Market Design with Decarbonization and Flexibility Needs
5. Accelerating Renewable Deployment through Agrivoltaics
6. Role of SCED (Security Constrained Economic Dispatch) and SCUC (Security Constrained Unit
Commitment) in improving the accuracy of power system operations.
7. Other relevant topics like MYT (Multi Year Tariffs), Consumer accounting, policies on smart meters
etc.
