Policy Breakout

This document explores the necessary policy shifts to foster load shifting, integrate renewables, and achieve local goals. It emphasizes utilizing "Green Button" data for consumer empowerment by offering tariff options, supply choices, and demand strategies. The paper discusses the growth of direct access due to SB 695, allowing non-residential customers significant energy choices. Additionally, it presents experimental studies on dynamic pricing, advocating for transparency in pricing volatility to encourage innovative consumption and storage solutions, while addressing potential drawbacks to energy efficiency.

  1. Policy Breakout Kevin, David, Chris, and Jay

  2. What are the required policy shifts for more load shifting, renewables integration, and other LoCal goals?

  3. Beyond Green Button • Use “green button” power data to build a tool that provides consumers: • Tariff options (real-time, time-of-use, direct access, CPP, self-designed, etc.) • Supply choices (PV, ST water heater, etc.) • Demand choices (EV, deferrable loads, smart appliances, etc.) Allows for exploration of pricing strategies by consumers, and will ideally put pressure on policymakers to expand pricing options to consumers to seed innovation

  4. More about direct access • Due to SB 695 in 2009, the three CA utilities have 25,000,000 MWh (~3 GW all year) of capacity • Non-residential customers can enroll to purchase electricity from Electric Service Providers (like TX) Simulating direct access pricing for loads could enable more choice and innovation on the electricity network (R and C).

  5. Prices to Devices Demo • Experimental study with CPUC and CAISO to provide dynamic pricing to customers (two meters?) • Dynamic price is a reflection of wholesale price plus defensible markup • Easier to monitor and hypothesize consumption and changes than actually implement (actuation is expensive and may damage appliances)

  6. Miscellany • Need to expose price volatility to the consumer to encourage storage and SFLs • DR hurts energy efficiency by encouraging focus on critical peak shaving (rather than at all times) • Real-time power factor correction – allows for decoupling
