Today, DERs provide 8% of the energy supply in Belgium and nearly 10% in Australia. In the U.S., they account for less than 5% of the energy supply, but experts expect
Electricity consumers and producers, even those that rely heavily on distributed energy resources, derive significant value from their grid connection. Indeed, in nearly all settings the full value of

As of today, 1.3GW is already procured or under contract. Of the remaining 4.7GW, 3GW will be utility-scale bulk storage, procured through the Index Storage Credit (ISC) mechanism. Value
Use of distributed energy resources (DERs) can provide significant benefits but may also create operational and economic issues for electric utilities, which should be addressed at the local
We offer a custom version of NYSERDA''s open-source New York Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) Value Stack Calculator via license.
to one with more renewable energy and flexible consumption. NYSERDA is seeking field demonstration projects of commercial distributed energy storage systems that leverage the
Project Team This report was produced by Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc. (E3) and sponsored by the Maine Governor''s Energy Office (GEO). While the GEO and other Maine
Examples of common energy storage use cases in the State include co-location with solar photovoltaic (PV) developments and other renewable energy resources. Energy storage
The Value Stack Fact Sheet provides an in-depth explanation of the Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) compensation structure. There is also a separate fact sheet that provides
Bidirectional distributed energy resources (DER) can generate, store, and flexibly draw energy from the grid. This shift places utilities at the center of new opportunities to
During their research and analysis, the academy shall engage relevant stakeholders focused on the value of distributed energy resources in Washington state,
NY-Sun developed the Value Stack Calculator to help contractors better estimate compensation for specific solar and energy storage projects. The calculator combines the

Evolving Electricity System The U.S. electric system is undergoing significant change due to a range of drivers, including an evolution of federal, state, and local policies addressing climate
Distributed energy resources offer multiple benefits to consumers, support decarbonisation, and improve resilience. The primary beneficiaries of DERs are the consumers who own them.
Today, the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the United States is uneven; certain areas have significant adoption, whereas others have a very low percentage.
VDER has proven to be a valuable alternative to the wholesale market, due in large part to its fixed revenue components, high capacity revenue potential, and ability to
The authors would like to thank the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy''s Solar Energy Technologies Office for its sponsorship and support.
This study assesses the economic, environmental, and resilience benefits of Distributed Energy Resources, focusing on solar photovoltaic systems paired with battery
New research examines what value these technologies bring to the grid and how utilities should structure payments for them in the distributed energy system of tomorrow.
The more barriers you allow to distributed energy resources and competitive large-scale non-utility generation, the more likely they will succeed through disruption, rather than through
Background on VDER The "Value of Distributed Energy Resources" (VDER) program, implemented by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), is a novel pricing
