of Distributed Generation and RateRelated Issues That May Impede Their 

Expansion’’ (DG Study). The DG Study 

is an analysis called for by Section 1817

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 1817 of the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005 requires that DOE, in 

consultation with the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC), 

conduct a study of the potential benefits 

of cogeneration and small power 

production. DOE also must analyze the 

impact of regulatory mandates, tariffs, 

rate structures and similar policies on 

the proliferation of distributed energy 

technologies. Section 1817 further 

requires that DOE recommend a 

methodology for valuing the benefits of 

distributed generation (DG). 

To initiate the DG Study DOE 

published a ‘‘notice of inquiry and 

request for public comment’’ in the 

Federal Register on January 30, 2006 

(71 FR 4904). The notice requested 

public input (such as narratives of 

experiences, data, case studies, reports 

and results of analyses, etc.) pertaining 

to the planning, installation, 

commissioning and operation of 

distributed energy systems. The notice 

also invited interested parties to submit 

case studies and similar information 

depicting the impact of regulations, 

statutes, codes, tariffs, rate structures 

and other similar policies on the various 

aspects of DG, combined heat and 

power (CHP) systems, and related 

distributed energy technologies. A copy 

of the January 30, 2006 notice is 

available on the OE Web page. 

II. DG Study, Request for Public Review 

and Comment, and Report 

A. DG Study 

DOE has considered and analyzed 

comments and supporting information 

received in response to the notice of 

January 30, 2006, and has completed a 

DG Study. DOE is hereby announcing 

that the DG Study is available for public 

review and inviting all interested parties 

to submit comments on the DG Study. 

B. Submission of Comments 

In accordance with Section 1817, DOE 

requests written comments from 

interested parties on all aspects of the 

DG Study. DOE is especially interested 

in receiving comments from persons 

with particular knowledge of the legal, 

economic and technical elements 

related to the benefits and rate-related 

issues concerning distributed 

generation. 

C. Report 

At the end of the public review period 

specified in the DATES section of this 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
