Clean Energy Roadmap Doug Lewin Executive Director, SPEER Presentation to DSWG April 8, 2015
Smart Energy Roadmap Follows the Update on Smart Energy in Texas (July 2014) Roadmap circulated to approx. 100 reviewers including TDUs, REPs, third parties, DR providers, aggregators, brokers, and consultants, etc. Texas is a leader. Texas can do much more.
Six Key Recommendations Increase data consistency. Supported by REPs, TDUs, and third parties. Key questions about third party access and direct customer access remain. Move SMT to ERCOT No one can say with any certainty how many customers use their data. ERCOT gathers data on time-of-use and peak rebate, but not pre-pay, usage alerts, etc. Can be done in way that protects proprietary info. Count customers using data Use smart meters to verify savings Efficiency from competitive services could contribute to Texas compliance with air quality standards. Verification is difficult, but meters help.
Roadmap, continued Numerous third parties reported that sign up was so difficult that they gave up. Federated access can be done safely and securely. Make it easier for customers to share data Educate consumers of smart energy s potential No money currently spent by utilities or PUCT. Leverage existing education (PowerToChoose, Power to Save, conservation alerts, etc...) Create better opportunities for loads in ERCOT market Market continually evolves and improves Meter data allows innovative new ways to enhance competition of the market, if load has a path to participate.
