The OEB has released its Report to the Minister of Energy and Mines on the Valuation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), which provides recommendations on the regulatory and compensation frameworks to appropriately reflect the system value of DERs. It also considers DER delivery rates that, along with DER compensation, constitute the overall incentives available for DER proponents. This work is aligned with the Ontario government’s goal of keeping energy costs affordable for businesses and families.
