Additional Details

The raw 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
annual_indirect_program_cost

Costs that have not been included in any program category, but could be meaningfully identified with operating the company’s DSM programs (e.g., Administrative, Marketing, Monitoring & Evaluation, Company-Earned Incentives, Other).

annual_total_cost

The sum of direct program costs, indirect program costs, and incentive payments associated with utility demand side management programs.

customer_class

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

energy_efficiency_annual_actual_peak_reduction_mw

The peak reduction incurred in a given reporting year by all participants in efficiency programs.

energy_efficiency_annual_direct_cost

The sum of actual direct costs (excluding incentive payments) incurred from energy efficiency programs in a given reporting year.

energy_efficiency_annual_effects_mwh

The change in energy use incurred in a given reporting year by all participants in energy efficiency programs.

energy_efficiency_annual_incentive_cost

The cost of incentive payments incurred in a given reporting year from energy efficiency programs. Incentives are the total financial value provided to a customer for program participation, whether cash payment, in-kind services (e.g. design work), or other benefits directly provided customer for their program participation.

energy_efficiency_incremental_actual_peak_reduction_mw

The peak reduction incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing energy efficiency programs and all participants in new energy efficiency programs.

energy_efficiency_incremental_effects_mwh

The change in energy use incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing energy efficiency programs and all participants in new energy efficiency programs.

load_management_annual_actual_peak_reduction_mw

The peak reduction incurred in a given reporting year by all participants in load management programs.

load_management_annual_direct_cost

The sum of actual direct costs (excluding incentive payments) incurred from load management programs in a given reporting year.

load_management_annual_effects_mwh

The change in energy use incurred in a given reporting year by all participants in load management programs.

load_management_annual_incentive_cost

The cost of incentive payments incurred in a given reporting year from load management programs. Incentives are the total financial value provided to a customer for program participation, whether cash payment, in-kind services (e.g. design work), or other benefits directly provided customer for their program participation.

load_management_annual_potential_peak_reduction_mw

The potential amount of peak reduction that could be incurred in a given reporting year by all participants in load management programs.

load_management_incremental_actual_peak_reduction_mw

The peak reduction incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing load management programs and all participants in new load management programs.

load_management_incremental_effects_mwh

The change in energy use incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing load management programs and all participants in new load management programs.

load_management_incremental_potential_peak_reduction_mw

The potential amount of peak reduction that could be incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing load management programs and all participants in new load management programs.

nerc_region

NERC region in which the plant is located

price_responsiveness_customers

The number of customers participating in the respondent's incentive-based demand response programs.

report_date

Date reported.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

time_responsiveness_customers

The number of cusomters participating in the respondent's time-based rate programs.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

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.
