NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand response (DR) is a concept that harkens back to the 1970s, when it was first employed in the United States. At that time, DR was implemented as a component of the energy conservation focus of demand-side management (DSM) programs to encourage consumers to use less electricity during peak hours or to shift their energy use to off-peak times. Utilities have offered interruptible rates to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers for many years.
Since 2010, C&I DR programs have matured in the electricity market and have been afforded the opportunity to bid directly against generation. However, they have also fallen under greater scrutiny. As DR has become a larger part of the resource base, regulators and other market participants are calling for tighter requirements to ensure reliable operations and efficient markets. There are general economic market factors, like low natural gas prices and coal and nuclear retirements, that affect the growth path of DR, as well. Currently, almost all of the C&I DR activity is taking place in the United States. This leadership position is expected to erode over the next 10 years, though, as all world regions continue or start the pilot phase of DR and then build out full-scale markets or programs. According to Navigant Research, global C&I DR capacity is expected to grow from 26.8 GW in 2014 to 132.3 GW in 2023.
