NERC current data collection involves two quantities: 1) on-peak megawatts (MW) for
Seasonal (Biannual for Summer & Winter) and 2) Long-Term (10 years) Reliability
Assessment Reports: Direct Control Load Management and Interruptible Demand13.
At the June 10-11, 2007 meeting of the NERC Planning Committee, the Resource Issues
Subcommittee was asked to lead a joint task force. This Task force will review the reliability
implications of DSM on Resource Planning, including the Long-Term Planning Horizon and
Operations/Operational/Planning. They will do this by gathering industry experience and
obtaining existing empirical results. They will formulate proposals for enhancing the data
collection needs and the reliability impact integration of DSM into both planning and
operating arenas.
Membership
Membership consists of five industry experts, with the Chair a member of the Resource
Issues Subcommittee of the Planning Committee, with remaining members provided by the
respective Planning and Operating Committees, including subcommittees or other industry
experts. The Operating Committee will be requested for advice once the planning issues
have been addressed, and the support of NERC staff will be solicited.
Reporting
