Description
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Seventh Power Plan found that demand response, which reduces peak demand, shifts loads, and can complement supply side resources, is the least-cost solution for providing new peaking capacity. The Council recommends that at least 600 megawatts should be developed to meet the region’s peaking and system adequacy needs. To help make this a reality Smart Grid Northwest is hosting the Demand Response Symposium, in collaboration with the Council, the Bonneville Power Administration, regional utilities, demand response providers, and other stakeholders.
This symposium will also include the participation of the Pacific Northwest Demand Response Project, which since 2005 has been the primary forum for researchers, regulators, and utilities to share information, build best practices, and overcome barriers to demand response in the Northwest. The conference is targeted for leaders at regional utilities who want to learn more about developing and implementing demand response. We expect around 150 professionals to attend this event.

■ Demand Response in the 7th Power Plan

SOCIAL RECEPTION | SGNW ANNUAL MEETING
Following Smart Grid Northwest’s annual meeting on September 27th, we will be hosting a social for attendees of the symposium to meet our members and network (5-8 PM). Join us to discuss smart grid advances in the region, potential new projects and collaborations, and how best to help demand response solutions evolve. The social is an opportunity to meet others attending the demand response symposium taking place the next day and strategize on how to make the most of that event.
