Abstract :
This paper provides an overview of two trial demand response programs implemented by the California ISO during the summer 2000 period. These programs were implemented due to concerns that significant load growth in California and the western United States region coupled with limited new generation supplies could require curtailment of firm load during peak load periods in order to maintain system reliability. These programs were initiated to provide a venue for loads to compete with generation in California´s deregulated wholesale energy supply market and thus provide an additional mechanism by which a proper load and resource balance might be maintained to avoid system reliability problems
