CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
Demand Response Definition Demand Response (DR) is the action taken
to reduce load when: Contingencies (emergencies & congestion) occur
that threaten supply-demand balance, and/or Market conditions occur that raise supply costs
DR typically involves peak-load reductions DR strategies are different from energy efficiency,
i.e., transient vs. permanent

What Are We Trying to Achieve?• Joint proceeding – CEC and CPUC (R.02-06-001)
Early goal for price sensitive DR: 5% of peak by 2007Residential Default CPPSmall Commercial (< 200 kW) Default CPPMedium Commercial (< 999 kW) Default CPPLarge C&I (> 1 MW) 2-part RTP
• IOU business plans for Automated Meter Infrastructure• Long term success DR as business as usual• Research needs
DR value, potential, technologies, programs, policies How much DR do we need? Relation between price response
and reliability?

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
Why Behavior?
Demand Response is a behaviorally driven system--even auto DR
In understanding behavior, the “why and the how” is as important as understanding the “who and the what”
Focus for this RON is on customer behavior

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
What is Behavioral R&D on DR?
Research that builds a basis of fundamental knowledge of the ways in which personal factors, e.g., values, attitudes, and contextual factors, e.g., economic costs, policies, etc., combine to influence consumer decision making to participate in DR programs.

2. What type of information and feedback will customers respond to, and why?
3. How willing are customers to allow technologies to act for them?
