Service Provider Eligibility
Any entity meeting the participation requirements that identifies "Curtailable Load" at a facility with electricity distribution service provided by Oncor and that has a minimum demand of 750 kW is eligible to participate in the program as a service provider. Eligible service provider includes:
- Retail Electric Providers (REP's)
- National or local energy service companies (ESCOs).
- Individual customers that identify "Curtailable Load" in their own facilities.
To ensure that the program incentive budget is allocated to projects that are likely to meet with success, all service providers will be required to demonstrate a commitment to fulfilling program objectives and competency in completing the proposed project.
Project Eligibility
A single project is defined as having a proposed "Curtailable Load" with estimated demand savings during the summer peak demand period. All projects must meet the following requirements:
- Each project must include a total estimated demand saving of at least 100 kW during the summer peak demand period. Oncor defines the summer peak demand period as the hours occurring between 1 P.M. and 7 P.M. Central Standard Time on Monday through Friday during the months of May through September, excluding federal holidays.
- A single project may involve identifying "Curtailable Load" at more than one customer facility, as long as the facilities are reported using a single Interval Data Recorder (IDR) that is monitored by Oncor.
"Curtailable Load" Eligibility
The program does not specify eligible “Curtailable Load” in order to provide energy service providers flexibility in packaging services. Service providers may propose the inclusion of any “Curtailable Load” in a project, as long as it meets the following requirements:
- "Curtailable Load" must produce savings through an interruption of electrical consumption during the summer peak demand period.
- Project sponsors must commit to making the "Curtailable Load" available for a ten-year period.
All potential sponsors are responsible for reviewing and understanding any provisions that prohibits, inhibits or limits it's curtailment by the sponsor's Retail Electric Provider.
Eligible "Curtailable Load" is considered to be load listed on the project application that will be available for curtailment. This could be building(s) or individual end-use equipment that creates demand reduction during the summer peak demand period. Oncor will consider any and all "Curtailable Load" that consumes electrical energy for participation in the program.
