Evaluation, Measurement and Verification plan A proposed EM&V plan Participants will be evaluated on the following criteria: ability to use the PDR mechanism to submit bids in the wholesale market ability to characterize DR portfolio to provide flexible characteristics such as ramping, and the ability to be dispatched in off hours and off season ability to provide necessary technology to end customers to fulfill telemetry and/or metering requirements, and to be dispatchable by the CAISO as a flexible resource under the PDR mechanism For the above evaluation criteria, certification by the CAISO will serve as the primary verification mechanism. Successful dispatch of DR resource and delivery of “energy” (required DR load reduction for specified period of time) along with financial settlement will constitute the verification that the PDR is functioning as designed and that the DRP is successfully completing the wholesale transaction. Strategy to identify and disseminate best practices and lessons learned A concrete strategy to identify and disseminate best practices and lessons learned from the pilot to all California utilities and to transfer those practices to resource programs, as well as a schedule and plan to expand the pilot to utility and hopefully statewide usage. Pilot results shall be reported at the public DRMEC spring or fall meeting on load impact or process evaluation results. Participants, lead by the IOUs, will conduct quarterly meetings with the Energy Division throughout the pilot period. The meetings will include current work, budgets and foreseeable next steps to ensure parties are well informed. At the conclusion of the field demonstration, IOUs with participants will provide the Energy Division with reports highlighting the lessons learned from this pilot. Any key lessons that can be extracted from this pilot will be used to enhance existing or new DR programs. Pilot Proposal for IRM 2 Implementation in Southern California Problem Statement A specific statement of the concern, gap, or problem that the pilot seeks to address and the likelihood that the issue can be addressed cost-effectively through utility programs This pilot proposal addresses a key problem of third party DR providers (and large end-use customers) lack of understanding and experience of bidding DR into the wholesale CAISO market.
