California’s electricity system is undergoing rapid transformation on the pathway to 100% renewable power, with the expected high penetration of renewables, electrification of buildings and transportation, and deployment of behind-the-meter (BTM) distributed energy resources (DERs). Many stakeholders are concerned about potential adverse impacts of these trends on the State’s power grid (see section 3.1) and agree that going forward it is essential for California to leverage demand response (also referred to as load or demand flexibility management) as a critical resource in integrated resource planning (IRP) to meet the State’s aggressive GHG emissions reduction targets.

The clean energy transition means shifting electricity production away from sources that release significant greenhouse gases, such as fossil fuels, to those that release minimal greenhouse gases. Nuclear power, hydro, wind and solar are the primary clean energy sources. Around two-thirds of the world’s electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels. In order to progress toward climate goals, particularly those outlined in the Paris Agreement, at least 80% of energy production will need to shift to low-carbon sources.

Flat, clear land is prime real estate for solar, but as these ideal sites are taken up, more projects will need to be built in regions with challenging terrain, such as steep slopes, undulating topography, former marshland, and agricultural fields. The Northeast is one such region which also has much potential for solar growth. New York, for example, has consistently been in the top 10 U.S. solar markets, with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) projecting a growth of 4,877 MW for the state over the next five years1 .

The Dominican Republic is considered a leader in energy and policy in the Caribbean. At the end of 2018 the Dominican Republic approved a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Action Plan to reaffirm the countries pledge to maintain the targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement. This being one of the actions showing the Island nation’s commitment to reducing emissions and increasing the amount of renewable energy in their power system.
