What are the new DER programs developed in the DER Docket?

Posted on Jul 29, 2023 in

The Commission has established three new DER programs for Hawaiian Electric customers through this docket: (1) the Smart DER Tariff, which allows DER customers to receive time-varying compensation for exported energy, (2) the Bring-Your-Own-Device (“BYOD”) Tariff, which pays incentives for customers to provide grid services (such as energy export during the evening peak) to the grid, and (3) the Scheduled Dispatch Program (“SDP”), an emergency program that pays incentives for customers to install batteries paired with solar that export to the grid every day during the evening peak. See the DER Programs page for more information about these programs.
