Such additional potential benefits include avoided transmission and distribution capacity costs, avoided environmental costs not reflected in market prices, (i.e., externalities), the effect of lowering electric demand on wholesale market prices, and the economic stimulus that results from lowering New York’s total costs of meeting energy requirements with economic efficiency and renewable resources.

Doing so would be a misuse of the study’s analysis. The study’s technical and economic potential analysis can and should be used to inform other analysis of policy, program, and resource options. The technology costs and performance characteristics developed from this analysis can be applied in the planning and design of programs, policies, and resource acquisition. If using the study’s technical and economic potential analysis results in efficiency and . . .
