SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 1817 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires that DOE, in 
consultation with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), 
conduct a study of the potential benefits of cogeneration and small

mandates, tariffs, rate structures and similar policies on the 
proliferation of distributed energy technologies. Section 1817 further 
requires that DOE recommend a methodology for valuing the benefits of 
distributed generation (DG).
    To initiate the DG Study DOE published a ``notice of inquiry and

and operation of distributed energy systems. The notice also invited 
interested parties to submit case studies and similar information 
depicting the impact of regulations, statutes, codes, tariffs, rate 
structures and other similar policies on the various aspects of DG,
