Description (excerpt):
This report provides foundational data on programs and rates that promote demand flexibility in residential and commercial buildings in the United States.
Leveraging a dataset of 148 programs and 93 rates collected through a review of utility websites, published electricity tariffs, and a database of demand-side programs, they describe the structure of demand flexibility events and the types and levels of incentives offered. For the two most common program types in our dataset—Wi-Fi thermostat and battery storage programs—they provide additional details on program designs. They also report data on program outcomes, including enrollment and participation, energy and demand savings, and costs. Furthermore, the report describes the structure of dynamic rate events, report prices for critical peak pricing and variable peak pricing rates, and describe features of technology rates.
