ERCOT Study Concludes Texas Law Mandates Each REP Must Develop Residential Demand Response Program

Category: Texas

An ERCOT Report prepared for ERCOT by a third-party states that Texas law “mandates” that “each” retail electric provider shall develop a residential demand response program.

The study, addressing the potential impacts of demand response and energy efficiency on ERCOT’s peaks, was prepared by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Texas A&M Energy Institute

The study says, “Senate Bill 1699 mandates that each REP in the ERCOT power region develop a residential demand response program aimed at decreasing the average total residential load.”
