  1. DSR Aggregation in Australia and New Zealand June 2010 Michael Zammit Managing Director

  2. What is DSR? An end user “Response” to: Extreme wholesale electricity price Peaks in Physical network demand Reduced reliability or security of supply By: Switching off discretionary loads Delaying the use of equipment for a time until the peak has passed Switching over their demand to an on-site generator Switching over to an alternative fuel source Combinations of the above Peaks usually appear for only a few hours a year (typically 20-50 hours out of 8,760 hours per year) ie less than 0.1% of the year but cost the Australian economy over $A3bn annually

  3. Who is Energy Response? Operating since December 2004 Australia and New Zealand’s most successful independent Demand Side Aggregator Currently operating in 3 significantly different electricity markets that broadly represent all major electricity market models Offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Wellington (New Zealand), with a total of 24 employees Sourced 1000’s MW of end consumers’ DSR capacity for market opportunities they cannot achieve on their own WA NEM NZEM

  7. Why End Users Participate Economic Benefits Payment for participation, lowers cost of electricity Advance warning of high price event or grid issue Community Benefits Environmental –less CO2 emissions and water use Companies doing “the right thing” (like Earth Hour but companies get paid for participating) Raised awareness about energy use

  8. Typical Demand Side Participants Scrap Metal Merchants and Recyclers Manufacturers MDF, Cardboard, Flour Mills, Wallboard, cables, etc Councils, Water Utilities, Treatment Plants City Buildings, Pubs and Clubs Many, many more • Telcos and IT Data Centres • Cool/Cold Stores • Quarries, Mines and Sand Plants
