Evaluating Advanced Utility Rate and Net Metering Impacts in REopt

This webinar will provide hands-on examples of evaluating potential cost savings from alternative utility rates and net metering policies using NREL’s publicly available REopt® web tool. As utility rates and net metering policies become increasingly complex, it is important for federal agencies to understand these rates and programs to better assess options for reducing costs through rate switching, energy efficiency, and distributed energy investments. REopt offers a user-friendly, streamlined approach to facilitate this type of analysis. In this training, participants will learn how to glean key information from utility bills, examine alternative utility rate options, understand their net metering policies, and model these policies in the REopt web tool.
