Abstract
This paper examines the current literature of demand side management, focusing on the demand demand response aspects, before providing a comparative case study of current demand response programs in Southern California Edison and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. The electrical grid faces severe challenges and both Texas and California have turned to demand response as a potential solution. Despite the two state’s regulatory philosophy differences their demand response programs represent two sides of the same demand response coin. Both states need the benefits of demand response for the stability of their grids and doubtless will rely on them more and more heavily moving forward.
