Distribution generation using new energy resources have been expected in the future power system. However, the interconnection cost and equipment cost of distributed generation (DG) are still expensive and stunt the growth of installed DG capacity. From the economic and environmental points of view, promotion of DG installation is indispensable in the future. This paper proposes a DG installation promotion program based on the load curtailment contract. In the proposed program, the load curtailment contract saves investments required for future power system reinforcement and induces the customers to install DG. Economical and environmental feasibility of the proposed program are discussed through numerical studies.
