Category Electricity Supply
KPI Name Demand Response Penetration
KPI No. EC: ICT: ES: 3A Type: Advanced Type: Smart

Definition / Percentage of electricity customers with demand response capabilities
Description

Rationale / Demand response provides an opportunity for consumers to play a significant role
Interpretation / in the operation of the electric grid by reducing or shifting their electricity usage
Benchmarking during peak periods in response to time-based rates or other forms of financial
incentives. Demand response programs are being used by some electric system
planners and operators as resource options for balancing supply and demand.
Demand Response is defined as “changes in electricity use by demand-side
resources from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the
price of electricity, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity
use at times of high wholesale market prices or when system reliability is
jeopardized.” (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission)
An increasing trend and higher values are considered positive.
