About this Training
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving tariff structures of rural and distribution utilities driven by changes in the energy integration and power system management.
Electricity cooperative tariffs vary depending on several factors including location, the type of cooperative, the cost of electricity generation and distribution, regulatory requirements, and the cooperative’s operating expenses. While the primary objective of an electricity cooperative is to provide affordable electricity to their members while covering costs and ensuring the sustainability of their operations, it has to rapidly adapt to changes in the generation mix and decentralized and increasingly digitalized transport networks.
Energy cooperatives require adaptive tariffs designs for pricing their electricity distributed generation and electricity usage. The course presents the financial drivers of different types of cooperative tariff structures. Special emphasis is given to the new clean energy investments, the impacts of government incentives, modalities to reduce rates or tariffs, the impacts of emissions, the reliance on outside power and the Essential Reliability Services and support that cooperatives may provide to the grid.
This course presents advanced methodologies that implement demand response and energy conservation programs for all the consumer types in a cooperative, in light of the integration of new technologies, regulatory changes and the penetration of renewable energy resources facilitated by the operating flexibility brought by power electronics.
