This two-day live online class explains how today’s demand response initiatives are evolving to interact with an emerging future with distributed energy resources for peak load management, and much more. The class content expands on a white paper available at www.peakload.org/DefiningEvolutionDR:

Class Learning Objectives:

• Articulate a common, descriptive language for describing the evolution of demand response as seen through the eyes of industry leaders,
• Explain the current state of the fundamental market principles and technology enabling demand response initiatives today,
• Compare and contrast how demand response programs perform relative to energy efficiency, thermal/battery storage, and renewable energy initiatives,
• Introduce examples of portfolio design strategies and implementation tactics to address the challenges of a fading boundary between bulk power exchange and retail electricity usage,
• Detail-free and low-cost resources to learn more about topics and initiatives discussed.
