Down Ramp: Started Dec 21 at interval 66, load reduction increased to 300 MW by interval 96. Dec 22, Interval 96 reduction 2,000 MW. Dec 24: Average reduction 3,300 MW. Dec 25: Average reduction 3,000 MW. Largest competitive load reduction during summer 2022 occurred on July 13 and totaled 2,400 MW. 2 PUBLIC
Methodology Analysis targeted competitive Non-weather sensitive ESIIDs: 4CP billing ESIIDs, and/or ESIIDs reported on Indexed pricing for 2022 Demand Response Survey and still with reporting REP on Dec 31, 2022. Baselines developed at ESIID-level average load on weekdays Dec 15 21. ESIIDs identified as responding based on significant load reduction during Dec 23 high-price event. Weather sensitive ESIIDs and NOIEs also were examined. Typically would use Regression baselines, but Dec 23 was a Friday, holiday - regression models yielded unreliable estimates Examined actual loads over Dec 15 31 no apparent, significant load reductions found. 3 PUBLIC
