What is the value of distributed generation to the distribution system and how do we assign that value to a rebate? This white paper is an update to Illinois Distributed Generation Rebate Calculation Considerations (PNNL-27569) and provides a preliminary look at potential distributed generation valuation methodologies and compensation options for Illinois by taking into consideration data needs and availability, stakeholder comments, and Illinois Public Utilities Act language. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is supporting the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) with initial stakeholder engagement to advance the conversation around distributed generation valuation in Illinois. PNNL’s educational support will help set the stage for a productive formal process as the ICC will be called upon, in relatively short order, to start formal distributed generation valuation proceedings in response to Illinois Public Act 99-0906, also known as the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA), and codified in Illinois Public Utilities Act Section 16-107.6. This white paper does not represent the ICC’s formal investigation of distributed generation rebate valuation and is not intended to characterize or prejudge any decisions on behalf of the ICC.
