Are you interested in how distributed energy systems can work in practice?
Our debate today works with the report titled National Standard Practice Manual: For benefit-cost analysis of distributed energy resources from 2020, by Tim Woolf, Courtney Lane, Melissa Whited, Chris Neme, Mike Alter, Steve Fine, Karl Rábago, Steven R. Schiller, Kate Strickland and Brenda Chew, published on the National Association of State Energy Officials website.
This is a great preparation to our next interview with Karl R. Rábago in episode 460 talking about the opportunities within the distribute energy system model.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how local energy investments value against traditional utility alternatives. This report provides a comprehensive framework for conducting benefit-cost analyses of diverse distributed energy resources.
