Incorporating Demand Response Into Clean Energy Procurement
summary
Claims that demand-side programs deliver bigger emissions cuts than solar in California (about twice the impact during dirty evening hours), backed by hourly grid data, smart‑meter measurement and LF Energy open-source M&V models. WattCarbon pilots procurable demand response that mints energy attribute certificates for DR, lets aggregations bid into wholesale markets at lower clearing prices, and uses the Carbon Data Specification for consistent accounting. Says U.S. building decarbonization needs $10–100 trillion and cites ~200 gCO2/kWh residential average in California.
