Modelling the potential impact of net metering in South Africa
… model to understand the unstudied effects of net metered capacity within the country and how this affects the planning of the energy sector in the future, which is done through processes such as the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). Using a combination of electricity tariffs and solar PV price …

Net metering and utility viability in the Arctic : insights from Alaska's Railbelt
… looks at how distributed solar adoption under net energy metering (NEM) could affect the financial stability of utilities in Alaska’s Railbelt. It employs a case study methodology that merges qualitative interviews with utility representatives with a risk-based financial model to simulate …

Distributional effects of net metering policies and residential solar plus behind-the-meter storage adoption
Several authors argue that net metering schemes (NEM), typically implemented to incentivize investment on distributed energy resources (DER), could be regressive, given that DER adopters in the U.S. are wealthier on average than non-adopters and due to the possibility that DER owners shift certain …

Post-implementation review of the net metering policy in Namibia and design of distributed generation hosting capacity algorithm
… In 2016, the Namibia government developed the net metering (NM) policy known as the Net Metering Rules (NMR) as a consumer-focused approach to achieve the low-carbon objective. To date, there has been no rigorous post-implementation review of the NMR to assess its effectiveness, despite rising …

Retail electric provider selection for prosumers with local distributed energy resources and plug-in electric vehicles using data mining techniques
In a deregulated retail electricity market, the residential customers typically have the liberty to choose an electricity service plan from a list of retail electric providers (REPs) that best matches their monthly energy consumption. This process is called “retail choice”. The selection of a …
