FERC Staff reported that the level of and interest in electric demand response and advanced metering increased significantly beyond the activities discussed in its 2006 Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering. Demand response activities reduce electricity demand during periods of peak usage in response to price, monetary incentives, or utility directives; demand reductions from these activities helped to ensure reliable operation of electric markets during the record-setting peaks of July and August 2006. Advanced metering technologies can enhance an electric customer’s ability to reduce demand in response to a higher price and an electric utility’s ability to meter and monitor the customer’s electricity use.
