Distributed Generation Market Demand (dGen) model

Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: April 25, 2026 at 08:41 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 14, 2024 at 03:22 PM
The Distributed Generation Market Demand (dGen) model simulates customer adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) for residential, commercial, and industrial entities in the United States or other countries through 2050. The dGen model can be used for identifying the sectors, locations, and customers for whom adopting DERs would have a high economic value, for generating forecasts as an input to estimate distribution hosting capacity analysis, integrated resource planning, and load forecasting, and for understanding the economic or policy conditions in which DER adoption becomes viable, and for illustrating sensitivity to market and policy changes such as retail electricity rate structures, net energy metering, and technology costs.
