Capitalize on Existing Assets with Demand Response
Gregg Dixon, SVP of EnerNOC

The Federal Government is the
single largest consumer of
electricity in the United States
Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005
“Sections 1252(e) and (f) of the US Energy Policy Act of
2005 (EPACT) state that it is the policy of the United
States to encourage “time-based pricing and other
forms of demand response.”
“States should consider aggressive implementation of
priced-based demand response for retail customers as
a high priority, as suggested by EPACT… fostering
demand response through incentive based programs
will help improve (transmission system) efficiency and
reliability while price-based demand response grows.”
What is demand response?

The Military Imperative for Demand Response
GSA’s National Security Guidance for Federal Agencies and Federal Building Operators
Public Utility Service Emergency Planning and Operations
• Code 1 – “Normal Operations.” As implied, at this level the building can be run normally.
• Code 2 – “High Demand Possible.” This means the regional power grid is expecting a higher than normal load.
• Code 3 – “High Demand Warning.” When this alert is received, low-impact curtailments should be implemented, i.e., measures that have been identified as having minimal effect on the tenants.
• Code 4 – “Demand Curtailment.” At this stage, building load reductions should be implemented. Tenants should be notified and asked for their cooperation.
• Code 5 – “Maximum Effort.” At this level, building operators and their tenants should be doing everything possible to reduce electric load, particularly in the afternoons.
DESC and Demand Response
DESC encourages federal and military
installations to do their part to use energy
more efficiently, and demand response
programs are a great way to meet that
objective.

By making small adjustments to
water chiller set points for a few
hours, the USNA can earn
approximately $60,000 in annual
demand response payments without
affecting the comfort of its students
and faculty with no cost up-front
