How are Demand Response Programs incorporated into SMD?
Demand Response Programs continue to play a critical role in New England under SMD. ISO New England will continue to offer its Price and Demand Response options to program participants opting to pla y a role in increasing system reliability. However, the creation of a multi-settlement system in New England provides program participants with a wider range of options to contribute to demand response initiatives. These programs are restructured to include demand response opportunities in both the day-ahead and real-time markets.
