Advisory Group

NESP’s primary publication, the NSPM for DERs, was guided by an Advisory Group (2017-2023).

The Advisory Group was represented by diverse stakeholders including state and federal agency staff (public utilities commission, state energy offices, federal agencies), utilities, evaluators, DER providers, consumer advocates, NGOs, and others.

In late 2025, NESP will publish NSPM for DERs v2, which will incorporate learning from NSPM use in jurisdictions across the U.S. and Canada over the past few years and expand on key benefit-cost analysis topics. See example NSPM state applications. NESP is reconvening an advisory group to inform the update.
