This report documents the results of an ex post and ex ante load impact evaluation of aggregator demand response (DR) programs operated by the three California investor-owned utilities (IOUs), Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), for Program Year 2008. Ex post hourly load impacts are estimated for each program and event, using regression analysis of hourly individual customer load, weather, and event data. Ex ante load impacts for 2009 through 2020 are simulated using load profiles and load impacts generated from the Program Year 2008 data, along with enrollment forecasts provided by the utilities.
