Policy Hurdles & Opportunities
Current State of Play
In the Near Future
-Hard to permit
Short-term incentives
Utility rates dictate value
+Frequency Regulation
FERC Jurisdiction over DR
Distribution Deferral Markets
Stacking revenue in front of and behind the meter
Locational Based Marginal Pricing + Distribution
Storage = most valuable Distributed Energy Resource

Financing Challenges
Benefits highly dependent on fickle load profiles
Rapidly-evolving technology
Policy not yet established
No standard contract

Elements Of A Contract Standard
13
Choice of technology
Maturity of tech, warrants and guarantees, specs, etc.
Economic Applications
What are the BTM and FOM revenue opportunities? How are they
effected by policy and technology?
Guarantees and Indemnities
In order to reach secondary market value, contracts will need
assurances of payments and default consequences
Client credit worthiness
How does involving LDCs and ISOs effect contract viability?
