Usage Warnings
The original data is no longer being collected or reported in this way.
Additional Details
Includes boolean fields about whether the energy savings estimates/calculations were independently verified and whether the utility runs time and or price responsive programs. Also contains information on whether any of the respondent's DSM activities are reported under another company, and if so which one.
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
Whether savings estimates are based on a forecast or the report of one or more independent evaluators.
Whether reported energy savings were verified through an independent evaluation.
Entity type of principal owner.
Whether there have been any major changes to the respondent's demand-side management programs (e.g., terminated programs, new information or financing programs, or a shift to programs with dual load building objectives and energy efficiency objectives), program tracking procedures, or reporting methods that affect the comparison of demand-side management data reported on this schedule to data from previous years.
NERC region in which the plant is located
Whether the respondent operates any incentive-based demand response programs (e.g., market incentives, financial incentives, direct load control, interruptible programs, demand bidding/buyback, emergency demand response, capacity market programs, and ancillary service market programs).
Date reported.
The name of the company if a respondent's demand-side management activities are reported on Schedule 6 of another company’s 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.
Two letter US state abbreviation.
Whether the respondent operates any time-based rate programs (e.g., real-time pricing, critical peak pricing, variable peak pricing and time-of-use rates administered through a tariff).
The EIA Utility Identification number.
The name of the utility.
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.
