The California ISO will hold an informational stakeholder call on Monday, Feb. 14, 2022, to provide an update to the study conducted by Recurve on use of a comparison methodology for Demand Response (DR) resources and results of its analysis of 2020 DR performance, utilizing their advanced control group method called FLEXmeter. The study was originally discussed during a Nov. 7, 2021 stakeholder courtesy call that socialized the draft study and requested comments that were considered in the update to the study.

The ISO contracted with Recurve, in order to conduct an analysis report on the viability of accessing a control group by all DR providers and use of a comparison methodology in measuring performance of Proxy Demand Response (PDR) and Reliability Demand Response Resource (RDRR). The draft study was initiated in response to stakeholder questions around accuracy of existing baseline methodologies used during the extreme weather events of 2020 to measure resource performance, and which was discussed during the Nov. 2021 stakeholder call.

The ISO additionally provided an update on the approved use of load adjustment factors outside of the min/max caps that several DR providers employed during Summer 2021 (May through October). During the November stakeholder call the ISO confirmed the intention to extend use of this option for DR providers. This call will also include presentation of updates to the process for requesting and approval of its use for Summer 2022.
