PJM ensures reliable operation of the high voltage power system that serves more than 51 million people across a 13 state region and the District of Columbia.
PJM currently manages its demand-side response (DSR) programs with an internally developed application, LoadResponse. PJM’s DSR activity dates back to 1992 and was significantly expanded with new tariff language in 2006.
Working with its stakeholders over the past several years, PJM has evolved market rules to remove barriers to entry for demand-side resources and improve the operational efficiency of DSR in the PJM wholesale markets.
To support the expansion of its DSR programs, PJM will implement a new demand response system based on the Demand Response Business Network solution from Utility Integration Solutions (UISOL) to replace the LoadResponse application.
