Energy efficiency programs reduce utility bills, reduce emissions of multiple pollutants, and reduce the overall cost of delivering electricity services. Measuring and considering the full spectrum of benefits delivered by energy efficiency is pivotal to capturing all cost-effective efficiency resources. View Summary +
Motivating power producers to plan for and develop enough capacity to meet the needs of customers during times of peak demand has been a challenge for power planners. A substantial portion of system capacity is needed for a relatively small… View Summary +
In this paper RAP assesses the suitability for tracking CO2 emissions associated with electricity imported into the RGGI region of two energy attribute tracking systems currently in use in the RGGI region. The paper explores the capacity of the Generation… View Summary +
There is growing interest in electricity market reforms that can tap the potential of dispatchable demand response to balance an increasing percentage of renewables in the power system. In the two “forward” capacity markets in the US, dispatchable demand response… View Summary +
As PJM moves forward as a fully functioning marketplace for electricity, it has become ever more apparent that the market for demand response resources has not kept pace with developments in markets for supply resources. While PJM has developed two… View Summary +
