Cost-Effectiveness of Distributed Generation Technologies Costs The STRC and the TRC tests include total resource costs for DG technologies. Total resource costs include five elements: 1) equity investment; 2) financing costs; 3) operating and maintenance (O&M) costs, including fuel costs (where applicable) and insurance costs; 4) environmental costs; and 5) program administration costs, including marketing, measurement, and evaluation costs. A short description of these costs and the sources of their valuation are listed below.  Equity costs assume a 60% equity investment, value of costs derived from secondary sources, and actual SGIP site costs. Forecast of costs are based learning curves.  Finance costs assume a 40% debt financing of the DG measure cost using a market interest rate and a finance period of 80% of the measure life.  O&M costs are derived from secondary sources and fuel costs valued by the E3 gas commodity forecast.  Environmental costs from DG electricity production, as valued by the E3 forecast of GHG values.  Program and administrative costs are derived from actual SGIP costs per MWh produced. Given the specifications of D.09-08-026 from August 20, 2009, the perspective of the STRC test differs from the TRC test in only the discount rate. The societal test uses a societal discount rate that is generally lower than the private discount rate used in the TRC. The decision also specified that, for the STRC and the TRC, “federal tax incentives should be included if we define the relevant ‘society’ as California and the benefits of these incentives flows into California from federal taxpayers.” In summary, societal costs include equity investment (Equity), financing costs (Finance), operating costs (O&MCost), environmental costs (EnvCost), and program administrative costs (AdminCost). The present value of technology-specific societal costs is given by: SocietalCostsi = Equityi + Financei + O & MCosti + EnvCosti + AdminCost The initial equity investment and program administration costs are assumed to be incurred in the year of the program. Financing costs, O&M costs, and environmental costs occur over the lifetime of the DG technology and are discounted back to present value by using the societal discount rate for the STRC and a private discount rate for the TRC.
