Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Can Nearly Level Southeast Electricity Demand for More than a Decade
WASHINGTON - Electricity markets in the Southeast are facing many changes on the customer side of the meter. In a new report released today, we look at how energy efficiency, photovoltaics (solar electricity), electric vehicles, heat pumps, and demand response (shifting loads from periods of high demand) might affect electricity needs in the Southeast.
We find that if all of these resources are pursued on an accelerated basis, electricity demand in the region can be stabilized until about 2030.
After that, demand will likely grow in the following decade because of increased market penetration of electric vehicles and heat pumps, but energy planners…
