Texas PUC Prepares To Commence Proceeding Addressing REP Residential Demand Response Programs, Funding
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Texas PUC has assigned Project 56966 for a proceeding captioned as "Goal for Reducing Average Total Residential Load in the ERCOT Region."
Nothing substantive has yet been filed in the docket
The caption suggests that the Project will implement SB 1699 from the 2023 legislative session, which requires the PUC to set goals to reduce the average total residential load in ERCOT
Among other things, SB 1699 envisions the offering of demand response products and services by and through retail electric providers
Specifically, SB 1699 requires that the program developed under the law's mandate to reduce ERCOT residential load shall, "provide[] opportunities for demand response
providers to contract with retail electric providers to provide
demand response services".
Moreover, as previously reported, SB 1699 requires that the residential load reduction program developed by the PUC shall allow a REP which offers a demand response program to obtain funding for such demand response program through a PUC-established energy efficiency funding program (e.g. such as the current TDU programs), provided that the REP's offering shall meet customary evaluation, measurement and verification requirements
The program developed by the PUC shall also, "facilitate[] the widespread deployment of smart
responsive appliances and devices in a manner that enables the
customer's appliance or device to be enrolled as part of a demand
response product or plan offered by a retail electric provider".
Under the statute, the PUC's program shall
provide demand response participation to
residential customers, "where reasonably available."
