Recommendations for Preparing Distributed Energy Resources Roadmaps and Plans

January 2021
Recommendations for Preparing Distributed Energy Resources Roadmaps and Plans photo
Distributed energy resources (DER)—including smart transmission grids, energy storage and electric vehicle charging infrastructure—offer new opportunities for electricity cost savings, service reliability and quality improvements, as well as reduced pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, DER integration and bidirectional flows of electricity increase operational complexity for utilities, power markets, and end users.

The Climate Economic Analysis for Development, Investment, and Resilience (CEADIR) Activity recently completed a report with recommendations for preparation of a DER roadmap or plan, including a three-phase process and resources for data collection and analysis. It draws on the experiences of U.S. utilities, regulatory agencies, and market operators that have participated in state or regional DER roadmaps and plans in the U.S., as well as select countries in Asia and Latin America.

During a December 17 event, the sixth in a in a series of joint webinars, experts from CEADIR and USAID introduced benefits and drivers of distributed energy resources, recommended steps in effective roadmaps and plans, and detailed progress made in the U.S.—particularly California—as well as Colombia, Mexico, and Vietnam.
