The Association for Demand Response & Smart Grid (ADS) has released its new report summarizing state policy activities in the area of demand response and smart grid. The survey report, “Demand Response & Smart Grid—State Legislative and Regulatory Policy Action Review: May 2010 – June 2011,” catalogues efforts undertaken by state regulatory commissions, state legislatures, state agencies, and governors. The report was prepared by the ADS under its previous name, the Demand Response Coordinating Committee (DRCC). The new report tallies how far state policymaking in support of demand response and smart grid has come over the past few years. It discusses FERC, DOE, and NIST actions as they relate to and affect state policy efforts. It also covers state actions in response to the two smart grid PURPA Standards established by the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the DOE Smart Grid Grants funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.Read the report.
