SUMMARY:Assessing Energy Affordability Impacts and Other Key Metrics (Alongside Benefit-Cost Analyses) to Inform DER Investment Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n3 Day ModulesMembers$595 or 6 Group Member PointsRegister3 Day ModulesNon-members$699Register*To register with Group Member Points\, or to take advantage of discounted rate available for representatives of community-based organizations (CBO)\, email elearning@aesp.org. \nAwards 0.6 CEUs / 6 PDHs (Click for more info)AESP is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). AESP complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard\, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation\, AESP is authorized to issue the IACET CEU. AESP instructors disclose in advance that they have no interest in any product\, service\, or material discussed during the course. This information is stated orally and in the training course handbook. \nMany states and utilities are looking for ways to address energy affordability when deciding whether and how utilities should invest in or support distributed energy resources (DERs). This multi-day course will describe how conducting a distributional equity analysis (DEA) can be used in conjunction with benefit-cost analyses (BCA) of DERs to provide a broader decision framework that considers key metrics – such as rate and bill impacts\, participation\, health and safety – and their impacts on underserved (e.g.\, low income) customers relative to all other customers. This training is geared towards evaluation practitioners\, utilities\, and stakeholders. The course will rely largely on the US DOE guidance titled: Distributional Equity Analysis for Energy Efficiency and Other Distributed Energy Resources: A Practical Guide (May 2024). \nThe training will describe the difference between DEA and BCA\, where BCA looks at whether a proposed investment will provide net benefits for all customers on average\, while a DEA considers the distribution of costs and benefits for customers with different characteristics\, such as low income populations\, relative to other customers. Instructors will walk through the seven stages of conducting a DEA\, share definitions of priority populations from across the country; describe examples of distributional equity metrics; provide an overview of geospatial tools that can be used to support DEAs; and provide data sources and opportunities to streamline the analysis. The course will also cover example applications of DER to two states\, Washington and Illinois\, and will illustrate how to combine DEA results with BCA results to inform decision-making. \nAfter this course\, students will be able to \n\nDefine what equity means to themselves and their organizations.\nCompare and contrast the differences between DEA and BCA.\nDescribe examples of distributional equity metrics.\nExplain how DEAs can be used to inform a variety of decisions to advance energy equity goals.\n\nInstructors\nJasmine McAdams PhD Student in Energy & Resources\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jasmine is a PhD student in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California\, Berkeley.
