Prevention Credits: Quantifying Avoided Loss in Renewable Energy Operations

This white paper introduces Prevention Credits — a novel mechanism to value what didn’t happen: avoided downtime and avoided energy losses through timely intervention in renewables O&M. We also discuss how such avoided losses may indirectly translate to lower emissions, and propose governance scaffolding for future marketplace standards.
