%T Demand Response Potential for California SubLAPs and Local Capacity Planning Areas: An Addendum to the 2025 California Demand Response Potential Study - Phase 2

%X <p>The 2025 California Demand Response Potential Study Phase 2 Report was released on March 1, 2017, and described a range of pathways for Demand Response (DR) to support a clean, stable, and cost-effective electric grid for California. One of the Report's key findings was that while there appears to be very low future value for <em>untargeted</em> DR Shed aimed at system-wide peak load conditions, there could be significant value for <strong>locally focused Shed resources</strong>. Although the dynamics of renewable capacity expansion have reduced the pressure to build new thermal generation in general, there are still transmission-constrained areas of the state where load growth needs to be managed with the addition of <strong>new local capacity</strong>, which could include DERs and/or DR.</p><p>This Addendum to the Phase 2 Report presents a breakdown of the expected future "Local Shed" DR potential at a finer geographic resolution than what is available in the original report, with <strong>results summarized by SubLAP and Local Capacity Area (LCA)</strong>.</p>
