The Future of Demand Response -- A Power Markets Today webinar

ROCKVILLE, Md. - Sept. 27, 2017 - PRLog -- Demand response (DR) has grown to represent a decent chunk of capacity in restructured markets and it won an improved legal footing from the Supreme Court when it upheld the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) jurisdiction over the resource early last year.

But changes are still afoot with the resource as wholesale power markets have implemented or are considering rule changes aimed at ensuring central station generation is paid adequately. Those changes sometimes go against the interests of DR. Can that work be accomplished without squeezing DR out of the wholesale markets?

Another issue is the growing focus among state regulators on reforming the distribution side of the business and how DR might play out in that. Will that activity finally lead to price-responsive demand, which has been called not politically feasible in the past?

Join Power Markets Today for the "The Future of Demand Response" webinar to be held on Tuesday, October 17, 2017, from 2-3:30 PM Eastern US time to get a high-level, comprehensive and balanced view of where DR is heading.
