New Report Details Policy Actions on Demand Response and Smart Grid Technologies Since 2005
(Washington – December 8, 2008) The Demand Response Coordinating Committee (DRCC) today announced the availability of a new Report on state and federal policies that have been enacted or are under development in recent years in the area of demand response, smart meters and smart grid technologies. The Report was produced by the DRCC for the National Council on Electricity Policy, a coalition of several organizations representing policy makers, including the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), the National Governors Association, and the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The report is a snapshot of State and Federal demand response and smart grid technology policy actions that have taken place in the period between 2005 and September 1, 2008. It represents an attempt to catalogue information on policy developments in both the legislative and regulatory arenas and at both the federal and state levels. The report includes a special focus on State implementation of the demand response and smart metering provisions—Section 1252—of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT).
