DSTAR membership is open to all
North American electric utilities, and is on a research program
basis. Each research program has several independent research
projects included. Eligible utilities can also retroactively join
previous DSTAR programs in order to obtain the deliverables
products (reports and software) produced by the projects in these
programs. Click here to view the list of projects by
program, including a summary of deliverable products from each.
Eligible utilities may not procure individual research products
from past or current programs without participation in the entire
program. Non-eligible companies (overseas utilities,
manufacturers, etc.) may obtain individual products for a price
negotiated on as case-by-case basis.
All member utility company
members share equally in the costs of the DSTAR research.
Currently, the apportionment to each utility is $30,000 - $40,000
per program. Because research programs typically extend over a 1½
year period, the annual cost is about $20,000. The research
investment made by each utility is highly leveraged by the
cooperative funding with other utilities.
If your company is interested
in joining DSTAR, contact the
program manager or one of the
DSTAR officers. |
