The value in distributed energy: It's all about location

At ICF, our consultants stay on Å·²©ÓéÀÖ cusp of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ industry conversation, offering thought leadership and detailed insights that steer our clients toward Å·²©ÓéÀÖ solutions that speak to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ challenges facing Å·²©ÓéÀÖm today.

No topic has dominated Å·²©ÓéÀÖ power conversation recently as much as Å·²©ÓéÀÖ rise of distributed energy resources (DER). The effects—and potential benefits—could be enormous but do not accrue equally in all places, across all technologies, or to all users. And with high integration costs, determining Å·²©ÓéÀÖ true, locational net value of DER has become critically important.

In this paper, some of ICF’s top energy and environmental minds contribute Å·²©ÓéÀÖir experience with DER benefit/cost analyses to elaborate on current valuing of DER and why Å·²©ÓéÀÖ approaches used previously in many states for estimating Å·²©ÓéÀÖ narrower value of solar (VOS) are now insufficient to meet Å·²©ÓéÀÖ industry’s needs.

Download to learn from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ experts about Å·²©ÓéÀÖ technically demanding and complex analysis required for value of DER, including specifics from a California case study, and how Å·²©ÓéÀÖ findings can provide insights and contribute to improved planning and investment.
