core_eia861__yearly_demand_response

package: pudl

Annual time series of demand response programs by state, sector, and balancing authority.

Most-recent data:

2024

Processing:

Data has been cleaned and organized into well-modeled tables that serve as building blocks for downstream wide tables and analyses.

Additional Details

The EIA861 demand-side management (DSM) table (split into three normalized tables in PUDL) contain data through 2012. The form changed in 2013 and split the contents of the DSM table into energy efficiency and demand response tables. Though similar, the information collected before and after 2012 are not comparable enough to combine into a singular, continuous table. We were discouraged from doing so after contacting a representative from EIA.

Columns
actual_peak_demand_savings_mw

Demand reduction actually achieved by demand response activities. Measured at the time of the company's annual system peak hour.

balancing_authority_code_eia

EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.

customer_class

High level categorization of customer type (e.g., commercial, residential).

customer_incentives_cost

Total cost of customer incentives in a given report year. Customer incentives are the total financial value provided to a customer for program participation, whether, for example, cash payment, or lowered tariff rates relative to non-participants, in-kind services (e.g. design work), or other benefits directly provided to the customer for their program participation.

customers

Number of customers.

energy_savings_mwh

The energy savings incurred in a given reporting year by participation in demand response programs.

other_costs

Additional costs.

potential_peak_demand_savings_mw

The total demand savings that could occur at the time of the system peak hour assuming all demand response is called.

report_date

Date reported.

short_form

Whether the reported information comes from the short form. In the case of form EIA 861, a shorter version of the form was created in 2012 to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities and increase our processing efficiency.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

utility_name_eia

The name of the utility.

data_maturity

Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record. EIA releases data incrementally over time, including monthly updates, annual year-to-date updates, provisional early releases of annual data, and final annual release data that is not expected to change further. Records sourced from multiple upstream EIA datasets may have no well defined data maturity. Records whose values have been inferred within PUDL will also have no data maturity.

core_eia861__yearly_demand_response_water_heater

package: pudl

Annual time series of grid-connected water heaters enrolled in demand response programs.

report_date

Date reported.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

num_water_heaters

The number of grid-enabled water heaters added to the respondent's program this year - if the respondent has DSM program for grid-enabled water heaters (as defined by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy).

data_maturity

Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record. EIA releases data incrementally over time, including monthly updates, annual year-to-date updates, provisional early releases of annual data, and final annual release data that is not expected to change further.
