  abstract = {<p><span>Conventional measurement and verification for non-interval metered, direct load control (DLC) programs bidding into wholesale electricity markets usually require a PURPA-compliant load research study. This requirement contributes to high operating costs and has been a factor in recent reductions in the amount of emergency demand response available to regional transmission system operators. This paper describes a collaborative effort by PJM members to determine whether regional modeling using pooled historical data could satisfy DLC measurement and verification (M\&amp;V) requirements without sacrificing estimation accuracy. This paper also describes how PJM incorporated the regional "deemed savings estimates" into its Load Data Systems Manual. This paper concludes that regional approaches to M\&amp;V could yield large cost savings for DLC resource providers around the country.</span></p>},
