2. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Nexus
Coordination of Program Offering and Delivery
Oregon PUC staff are currently interested in exploring coordinated offerings and delivery of EE/DR programs.
Example: ETO/ PGE Smart Thermostat program.
PGE worked with ETO and a smart thermostat provider to identify opportunities to engage smart thermostat early adopters who met certain criteria for possible inclusion in PGE smart thermostat DR program.
PUC Staff recognizes the value of this program offering design and will look to encourage additional coordinated efforts
PUC Staff anticipates having a more robust discussion about market roles for the utilities, NEEA, ETO, other stakeholders

3. Building the DR Resource in the NW
Our utilities are facing a dual peak summer/winter – PGE 2017 Draft IRP, Nature Climate “Impact of climate change on electric power supply in the Western United States”, Bartos & Chester.
NEST data on 8000 Oregon homes HVAC utilization in Oregon (600 hours of AC/ 600 hours of heating)
IoT and appliance plays, HAN and NEEA
HPWP/DHP $30 direct install – PGE and ETO coordination
HAN? Is this the home resource aggregation strategy, or do we need to develop a NW DR rollout and program strategy (NWPCC DRAC) (CA PG&E DRAM)
Is the IRP enough?
NEEA and enabling DR ready appliances

4. DR Program Proposal Requirements Includes Coordination
Currently OPUC has been reviewing DR pilot program filing as isolated instances.
Will work with the utilities to begin working toward more comprehensive, strategy based filing with known filing detail requirements.
DR filings should discuss a long term strategy and the coordination necessary to build the resource
Initial DR filing will require the following elements.

5. DR Program filing requirements
