Demand Response Review
Prepared for Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO)
The Brattle Group was retained by AESO to evaluate opportunities to increase the integration of demand response (“DR”) in the Alberta energy-only wholesale electricity market. Our specific tasks included the following:
- Collect and summarize information about the types and characteristics of a representative sample of DR programs and associated market designs in the US RTO markets
- Review of current and planned AESO DR programs and DR-related market design elements
- Gather and evaluate feedback at focus group meetings with AESO market participants
- Evaluate which of the identified (or potentially new) DR types and DR-related wholesale market designs could be applied in Alberta
This presentation summarizes this effort and presents our recommendations.
