Outcomes and Capabilities In the Scoping initiating this Working Group process, the Commission specifically asked the Working Group to review and revise as it saw fit the Modernization Outcomes, “Grid Capabilities, and Enablers” matrix that was submitted in Massachusetts by the stakeholder working group there several years ago. After careful consideration, this Working Group made numerous changes to the overall categorization as well as the specific outcomes, capabilities, and enablers. The Working Group members all agreed to these changes, and support the matrix as delineated in Table 3-1.
