Hi Alireza,
I think it is a controversial question!
As far as I know, Hosting Capacity depends on numerous factors such as the nature of DG generation (its uncertain output I mean), and DG (or actually DER) various technologies, the operation strategy chosen by their owners, the technical characteristics of the distribution network, and even some dynamic regulatory policies.
So, I think we cannot generally present a typical value for Hosting Capacity in $/MW. This is my idea. However, some other researches may help you better in this matter.
Good luck,
Morteza

Hi Alireza,
I agree to Morteza.
It is also a very country specific answer you will get:
In Germany for example the transmission system operator (TSO) is paying for capacity (EUR/MW) in the primary control market (~3.000 EUR/(MW*week). But there is no payment option for distribution system operators (DSO) for decentralized capacity owners. But the DSO himself is allowed to operate e.g. storages when it is only used for grid operation - arbitrage on electricity spot markets for example is not allowed for them. They could do grid investment deferral by using a storage instead of building a new transformator to extend local grid capacity. The worth of the capacity would be the costs of the transformer.
Best regards
Sebastian
Thank you all.
May be the connection fee that DSO receives from the DG units to be installed in distribution network can provide a better hint.
