Valuing Distributed Generation in North Carolina

The Alliance for Solar Choice
Project completed March 2015

Synapse developed testimony on behalf of The Alliance for Solar Choice supporting a fair and reasonable methodology and assumptions for calculating the costs and benefits of solar PV in North Carolina. Our analysis focused on major costs the utility system avoids as a result of solar PV within the context of PURPA, including avoided energy costs, avoided generating capacity costs, price suppression, and other major categories of avoided costs.
