This initiative reviewed the DR programs of PJM, the NYISO and the New England ISO with respect to programs offered, enrollment and execution, and approach for coordinating with utilities and curtailment service providers. The project identified lessons learned and suggested approaches for other ISOs considering similar programs.
Demand Management and Demand Response Business Model Assessment
We developed a high-level framework for assessing how EE, DR and DG options can be integrated into the utility decision-making process using a value chain approach.
Emerging EE, DR and DG Solutions Inventory
The project produced a catalogue of new and emerging programs and technologies nationwide. The focus was on innovations such as advanced metering, switches, sensors, voltage regulation, communication platforms and other technologies that have been recently launched or are in the pipeline within the next one to three years.
Internal Case for Action Bringing DR, EE and DG to Scale
This project investigated the requirements for EE, DR and DG to become sustainable in the future. It investigated approaches for valuing the societal benefits from EE, DR and DG, assessed Wall Street’s valuation of these efforts, and discussed the role of regulation and policy.
Measurement & Verification Methodologies Inventory
This initiative investigated the energy efficiency measurement and verification (M&V) approaches in use in the electric and natural gas industries today. It defined and analyzed the most widely used M&V processes, practices and protocols for EE and DR.
