Pilot Projects Listings
The IPF process is described in the Pilot Process filed with the Commission on July 28, 2021. The Implementation Phase will include pilot proposals filed as Notice of Intents (NOIs). Not all pilot concepts will be cost effective or show positive business cases, as assessing cost effectiveness of a scaled-up solution may be a pilot project's primary objective. The Implementation Phase will also include the execution of approved pilot projects, and the review of those approved projects for the purpose of shared learning and possible expansion.
This status board tracks the progress of new and upcoming innovation pilot projects.
