Wholesale Distributed Generation Will Deliver California’s Clean Energy Future
“WDG [wholesale distributed generation] delivers the most cost-effective renewable energy for California ratepayers. A CPUC [California Public Utility Commission] study that is being revised to reflect the current pricing of solar is expected to show that WDG is a better deal for ratepayers than the large central station projects that require transmission build-outs and suffer the inefficiencies of transporting energy over long distances. Hence, WDG is California's best hope for achieving its renewable energy goals cost-effectively and in a timely fashion. In addition, WDG can begin delivering tremendous economic dividends for California in the form of immediate job creation and increased tax revenue.”
“Since mid-2009, four WDG FITs have been implemented in North America: in Gainesville, Florida, the Province of Ontario, the state of Vermont, and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). These four FIT markets are either deploying renewables far faster than any other region in North America or are staged to do so soon.”
