Has anyone submited this credit in lieu of demand response before?  I'm attempting on multiple projects but not sure what to expect review wise or how much confidence to have in the ability to get more than 1 point for trying.

Hi Cory, We have used it several times on geothermal projects and tend to score 3 of the 6 points.  Dispatchable energy storage will add a point or two depending on the load profile.  It is just based on 8760 data from the energy model so is much more straight forward to do than the demand response credit.

Cool.  I had gathered it was pretty straightforward input of energy model results to the calculator.  Glad to hear you have been succesful with it. Any review comments I should look out for?
