Value Stack Customer Portal

Value Stack Overview

Eligible customers with distributed energy resources (DERs) generate Value Stack credits as part of the Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER), a compensation program established by the New York Public Service Commission. Eligible DERs include Community Distributed Generation (CDG), also known as community solar, electric energy storage, and other generating resources described in our Value Stack Tariff (Rider R of the Electric Tariff).

The Value Stack Customer Platform is designed to improve coordination between Con Edison and the businesses involved in administering value stack crediting for community solar and other DER.

Purpose

This portal has been built to help the rapidly expanding clean energy market. Our goals are to support the further development of DER, provide transparency to market partners, and standardize data sharing protocols.

Some of the scenarios that the portal can be used for are:

• Retrieving Host Statements
• Allocation file submission and validation
• Value Stack Account management
• Net Crediting applications
• General inquiries

Please continue to use PowerClerk to apply for interconnection.
