Of special interest to jurisdictions considering revising tariffs for distributed energy resources or valuing efficiency or electrification initiatives, in August 2020 the National Energy Screening Project published a new guide on valuing distributed energy resources. The 2020 National Standard Practice Manual for Benefit-Cost Analysis of Distributed Energy Resources (NSPM for DERs) provides a comprehensive framework for cost-effectiveness assessment of DERs. The manual provides a set of policy-neutral, economically-sound principles, concepts, and methodologies to support single- and multi-DER benefit-cost analysis for: energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation, distributed storage, and building and vehicle electrification. The manual is intended for use by jurisdictions to help inform which resources to acquire to meet the jurisdiction’s specific policy goals and objectives.
