I.D No. PSC-52-18-00013-P
Compensation of Distributed Energy Resources
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering the recommendations and options for future Value Stack compensation discussed in the December 12, 2018 Staff Whitepaper.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(1)(b), (2), 65(1), (2), (3), 66(2) and (5)
Subject:
Compensation of distributed energy resources.
Purpose:
To ensure just and reasonable rates, including compensation, for distributed energy resources.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering the recommendations in the Staff Whitepaper Regarding Future Value Stack Compensation (the Whitepaper), filed by the Department of Public Service Staff (Staff) on December 12, 2018.
The Whitepaper recommends modifications to the calculation of the Demand Reduction Value portion of Value Stack compensation, as well as changes to the Market Transition Credit (MTC) portion of Value Stack compensation in several utility service territories. The Value Stack is used to calculate compensation to eligible distributed energy resources (DERs) and is based on the calculable benefits the DERs create, including distribution system values such as the Demand Reduction Value. The MTC is an adder to the Value Stack for eligible DERs to support the transition from net metering to the Value Stack and recognize that some benefits are not yet included in the Value Stack.
The full text of the Whitepaper and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
