Projects in ProgressProject # 3. Demand Response Pilot: Objectives
TDUs: Demonstrate that new advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technologies can contribute to higher grid performance and lower demand when needed through consumer programs
Retail Electric Providers: Test marketing strategies to enroll consumers in programs, and determine if the customer experience will support demand side programs as a permanent part of their supply strategies
ERCOT: Gather data for settlement process and develop added flexibility for the electric system during peak demand periods
CCET: Establish role of research and development organization in introducing new technologies

Projects in Progress Project # 3. Demand Response Pilot: Expectations
– Leverages the AMR/BPL roll-out
– REPs recruit their current customers from 10,000 - 18,000 customer target in each area
– REPs install two-way communicating thermostats and switches in 500 customers homes each area, via subcontracts with CURRENT & Comverge
• Devices are addressable through the Internet (IP)
• Load control signals to these devices via BPL
– Customers’ load is reduced by each REP when needed• By Oncor & CNP during peak months
• As desired by REP at anytime
– Oncor & CNP provide 15-minute meter reading data to ERCOT at the end of each month. Data will be used to validate peak demand reductions
