with Mark Martinez, Southern California Edison; Christine Riker, Energy Solutions; and Wendy Brummer, Pacific Gas and Electric Company

to be presented Thursday, October 5, 2017; 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. Eastern

Thank you for your interest in this PLMA Demand Response Dialogue.

You have access to review the recording on this page.


Learn how Demand Response initiatives are evolving from one-way load control switches to interact with an emerging future with distributed energy resources for peak load management and much more. This Dialogue expands on a PLMA white paper and offers a "sneek peek" at what is being presented in a series of training courses this fall in Portland, San Francisco, and Cambridge.

Topics Include:

  • Articulating a common, descriptive language for describing the evolution of demand response as seen through the eyes of industry leaders, and
  • A review of how demand response programs perform relative to energy efficiency, thermal/battery storage, and renewable energy initiatives.

Plan to join PLMA for a dialogue with these industry thought leaders.
