While FERC-2222 is primarily targeted towards improving access to wholesale electricity markets for smaller wind and solar power installations, it creates opportunities for dairy farms as DERs; we observe that the potential revenues available stand to change the industry outlook on manure management and processing. Under this new policy, manure becomes a valuable asset. Our results point to manure processing as the first element of a larger supply chain culminating in the production of a variety of fertilizer products, and from which electricity is a valuable by-product; FERC-2222 provides the necessary policy changes to activate this market.
