Presented March 2014
Rick Hornby presented “Wholesale Capacity and Energy Price Suppression Benefits of Efficiency and Distributed Generation” at the NESEA Building Energy 14 Conference on March 6, 2014. The presentation explained how retail customers who invest in distributed generation and/or energy efficiency reduce the quantity of wholesale/conventional utility electric capacity and energy that utilities or merchant suppliers acquire to supply them, and how those reductions benefit all retail customers by suppressing the prices of the wholesale/conventional utility capacity and energy that all retail customers ultimately pay.
