DRP Guidance* **
* DRP Guidance, Attach. p. 12, (“The output of [phase 2a] will be “Distributed Energy Resource Development Zones” (could be Distribution Planning Areas) that can be associated with locational values. In these zones, additional DER portfolios would be defined using the process of value optimizations.)
** Projects Identified according to:
deferral start date a) year near-term forecast, b) 3-5 year intermediate-term forecast, c) 5-10 year long-term forecast and d) >10 year ultra-long term forecast . ACR ICA/LNBA (May 2, 2016), p. 28.

5. Theoretical Structures for DER Procurement Framework
Bundled Procurement Plan (BPP) (Biennial)
Contract length > 5 years
LNBA value largely T&D
T&D Deferral RFO
Application
LNBA value largely NOT T&D
Incorporate into existing RFOs
Approval coincident with RFO outcome (Application)
Contract length < 5 years
Tier 3 Advice Letter
Preapproved Use Cases TBD (Standard Pro Forma)
Tier 1,2 Advice Letter
Incorporate into existing RFOs?
Approval coincident with RFO outcome (AL/ App.)
DER Procurement Plan (Annual)
- OR -
Remaining process analogous to BPP but distribution deferral-specific.
Decision points for the working group
Annual v. biennial filing sufficient?
Incorporate into BPP or separate filing. Is the distribution deferral significantly different than BPP?
Incorporate a portion of distribution deferral into existing procurement process? What is the method for incorporating distribution deferral?
