ISO Demand Program Status Back-up Generators CPUC Interim Order Lessons Learned Status Report
Participating Load Program Loads can bid into markets similar to generators Discretionary Load Curtailment Program New UDC program will pick up much but not all of this participation Issued with preset performance price of $350, adjustable to $500-$750 ISO Program Status
ISO Demand Relief Program (DRP) Curtailed after interruptibles and before rotating blackouts Capacity payment $80,000 per MW for the summer, performance at $500/MWHr First RFB - 596 MW approved Second RFB bids due May 1 New participation Military facilities State real-time metering initiative Third RFB for Loads with backup generators?
Back-up generators permitted in DRP Limited to backup generators that don’t synchronize to the grid. Coordination with air quality officials crucial New straw proposal First Tier - non-diesel generators Second tier Existing diesel installations only Encouragement for “cleaner” diesels Back-up Generators
Interruptibles re-instituted with penalties A/C Load Program Re-institutes Edison program and directs PG&E and SDG&E to implement new program Voluntary Demand Response Program Similar to ISO DLCP Program Optional Binding Mandatory Contract A circuit can avert rolling blackout by providing 15-20% reduction during all Stage 3 emergencies CPUC Interruptible Opinion(issued April 3, directing 3 utility programs)
Start early Focus on new demand participation Attention to pricing Long-term focus on real-time metering and pricing Carefully define Back-up generator participation Definition of Baseline for performance verification Coordination and communication Lessons Learned
On a short-term basis, demand participation and conservation will make the difference!
