Proxy plant valuation methods for demand-side utility programs

Energy, 1989, vol. 14, issue 1, 9-21

Abstract: Methods for valuing demand-side utility programs are discussed for load impacts large enough to require changes in the utility resource plan. The valuation period is divided into subperiods for which different rules are appropriate. The principal feature of the methods discussed is the identification of a deferrable resource, or proxy plant, which is used to determine value. Proxy plants determine value either on the basis of their own costs or the value they produce through reduced operating costs. Both approaches are discussed in the context of case studies. Proxy plant methods are compared with other valuation methods.
