Demand Response World Forum 2014

Utilities around the world are under increasing pressure to maximize energy efficiency, control load, and integrate distributed energy resources. These factors plus a changing regulatory environment are driving new requirements for network resiliency, flexibility, and power quality -- all of which impact the traditional utility business case. For utilities to thrive in this changing market, they must embrace greater network agility and work with customers to maximize value for all stakeholders in the value chain.

Technology innovators and business leaders will meet to discuss how to enable an integrated and flexible network that is responsive to a wide range of energy resources, marketplace entities, and customer energy demand and generation.

This pre-conference Workshop on Monday, October 13 is for utilities, DR designers and program implementers who are planning to use OpenADR 2.0, arguably the most adopted of any open standard for Demand Response program messaging between utilities and their C&I customers. [view full details]
