What is the OpenADR Alliance?
The OpenADR Alliance is a nonprofit corporation created to foster the development, adoption, and compliance of a Smart Grid standard known as Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR). Smart Grid standards for Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) will ultimately lower the cost, improve the reliability, and accelerate the implementation of Auto-DR and Smart Grid implementation across the U.S. This open approach also improves the flexibility of automating demand response allowing electricity customers to more easily participate in different types of DR programs and pricing structures.
