The Load-Shift Goal Report addresses a requirement in Senate Bill 846 (Dodd, Chapter 239, Statutes of 2022) for the California Energy Commission to develop a statewide goal for load shifting to reduce net peak electrical demand. The report outlines the approach used to develop a load-shift goal in consultation with the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Independent System Operator and consider research conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as required by SB 846. The report also discusses the current landscape of demand response and load shifting in California and suggests policies to increase demand response and load shifting without increasing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing electric rates.
