Role of Policymaker and Regulator for DPV

Regulators and policymakers play important roles when it comes to DPV programs. Regulators govern the utility industry by setting standards (e.g. interconnection), determining revenues, calculating tariffs to recover costs, overseeing planning, and other conducting other activities that are intimately connected to DPV deployment. Policymakers, in turn, have multiple public policy tools available to target DPV barriers to adoption and enable market growth. In some cases, policymakers and regulators may have overlapping roles when it comes to DPV.
