Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has shown an increased focus on demand response in wholesale electricity markets in the last few years. This is reflected in a number of initiatives, ranging from measures that are intended to provide a better sense of the potential impact of demand response and current barriers to participation in wholesale markets to measures requiring reforms to tariff language designed to broaden demand response participation in certain markets.

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It is not considered to be legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations.
