Ep 107: Market Maturation Moment as Behind-the-Meter Becomes Real Infrastructure

Is the behind-the-meter energy market finally growing up? In this episode, we break down a major shift happening across the U.S. as states like New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, and Illinois move from simply allowing onsite energy systems to regulating how they perform. Microgrids, batteries, and distributed energy resources are being treated as real infrastructure, complete with reporting requirements, performance standards, dispatch rules, and bankable revenue structures.Listen in to hear how different states are approaching this transition, what performance-based regulation means for business leaders, how battery incentives are evolving into revenue programs, and why policy should now be treated as a design input—not an afterthought. If you’re responsible for cost resilience, capital planning, or long-term energy strategy, you'll learn where the market is heading and how to position yourself to win.What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:Why behind-the-meter energy is entering a new phase.How New Mexico is regulating large microgrids.Oregon’s framework for valuing grid services.Colorado’s grid flexibility strategy.Illinois’ battery incentive and dispatch model.What “bankable revenue design” really means.Why capital prefers stable regulatory environments.How distributed energy is reshaping load forecasts.Practical steps business leaders should take now.Resources in Today's Episode:Gareth Evans: LinkedInDan Roberts: LinkedInVECKTA: NewsYou can view a video of the conversation on VECKTA's website here: https://tinyurl.com/ykfef9fz
