Staff said that, currently, residential demand response in ERCOT is not aligned with grid needs
Staff said that the objective of the comprehensive demand response review should be to ensure that demand response programs are designed and deployed in a manner that maximizes grid efficiency and economic efficiency
Commissioner Kathleen Jackson agreed that, in comprehensively considering all demand response, the

PUC Chair Thomas Gleeson said that the review should not only be comprehensive, but also coordinated with consideration of other demand response programs and proposals, citing ERCOT's proposed Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 1296 which would create an ERCOT-funded program providing incentive payments to retail electric providers (via REPs' QSEs) for residential demand response (see details on 1296 here)
