Southern California Edison Demand Response Present and Future Presented by Larry Oliva Director, Tariff Programs and Services Demand Response Coordinating Committee Town Meeting, Washington DC June 3, 2008
Recent Successes in Demand Response SCE Demand Response today System peak 23,303 MW Interruptible Large Customer 627 MW Emergency Res/Sm. Comm. 607 MW Emergency Ag Pumping/Other 56 MW Price Responsive Programs 107 MW Total DR 1,397 MW Total DR % 5.9 % SCE technical peak demand reduction potential If all customers participated similarly 30 % SCE DR response numbers updated as of 3/31/08. Per Larry Oliva: Rely on what the CEC says is technical potential of 25 percent. Technical Peak Demand Reduction is the total DR potential if all DR eligible SCE customers participated in DR programs
Expanded AC cycling by 225 MW in 2007 Recent Successes in Demand Response Expanded AC cycling by 225 MW in 2007 Seasonal Incentives based on: Tons of Cooling Cycle Strategy (50%, 67%, 100%) Event Choice (15 events vs. unlimited) FIXED incentive amounts PAID in advance Over 320,000 participants 91% of participating A/C Units range in size from 2.5 to 5 tons 88% of participating customers opt for 100% cycling (Maximum $ Incentive) Average annual residential incentive paid = $140/device
Where SCE is Going with DR Dynamic Pricing-The Essential Path Industries with high cost of capacity transitioned to dynamic pricing, examples: Airlines Hospitality Rental Cars Shipping Electric Utilities can benefit Peak load growth continuing Regulatory and environmental impediments to build Real cost escalation of new construction Technology enablement (metering and controls)
