Report from Evolution of Demand Response Dialogue Project
During 2015-16, Wedgemere Group designed and facilitated a multi-month, multi-party dialogue project focused on the evolution of demand response. The group included utilities, ISOs, state and federal policymakers, DR providers and a variety of stakeholders. The goal of the group was to identify how DR has evolved to date and how it will or should evolve in the future, particularly in the context of the increase in deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DER). The project produced a report that identifies issues and challenges, lays out the group’s expectations for the future of DR, and lists recommendations for both policymakers and DR practitioners and stakeholders. The report can be accessed here.
Reports from COP-21 in Paris
Dan Delurey, President of Wedgemere Group, led an officially credentialed delegation to the UN Climate Change in Paris in December 2015. He was a speaker at official UN events and was a resource to stakeholders and foreign government delations on how DR, DER and smart grid can help achieve goals for both emissions reductions and for climate resiliency. His reports from Paris can be found on his blog elsewhere on this website.
