Abstract
This brief summarizes the Hoosier Energy Integrated Planning Initiative (HEIPI). The Electric Cooperative Innovation Center (ECIC) conducted a study on integrated planning and distributed energy resources (DERs) with Hoosier Energy and its 18 member cooperatives in 2022-2023. The goal of the study was to identify best practices and policies for planning and implementing DERs at all levels with members and to identify critical next steps and policies for implementing a planning process that integrates across generation, transmission, and distribution planning, accounting for the rise of DERs across the member systems
