FERC Finds Much Room for Demand Response

LCG, July 9, 2003--Despite high natural gas prices and resulting increased power prices, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have found little evidence of coordinated reduction in demand aimed at heading off price spikes.

Those regions of the country that have experienced the most severe power price increases include Florida, Texas and the West Coast, according to FERC's Office of Market Oversight and Investigations. It stated that FERC has tried to bring rules into effect that would increase the potential benefits of demand response. The areas of the country where demand response has received the most attention are New York, Connecticut, California and Florida.
