POL 6 - Evaluating Peak Impacts of Energy Efficiency

Wednesday, April 09, 2008 · 2:00 PM - 3:40 PM

Energy efficiency can be a big player in reducing peak loads if it is properly targeted, if its effects are well understood, and if the results are reliable. Managing electrical peak load is a priority for society due to its impact on consumer costs, environmental quality, and reliability. Sharp peak demands strain the infrastructure, cause shortages, and lead to inefficient operation of generation and transmission systems. Explore these critical issues.

By attending this session, participants will

Understand peak electrical load and the importance of managing it for programs, society, and the environment
Learn how energy efficiency can be targeted and controlled to produce reliable peak reductions
Examine how evaluation research has documented the impacts of energy efficiency on peak demand
