Partnerships

SCE works closely with industry groups, academic institutions, and other investor‐owned and municipal utilities to develop a vision for effective Demand Response (DR) markets and programs, identify technologies that can be leveraged for new models of DR enablement, and establish standards for interoperability of DR technologies.  Emerging Technology (ET) stakeholders from each of the California Investor‐Owned Utilities (IOUs) and municipal utilities meet periodically to coordinate, collaborate, and share results from each utility’s portfolio of EM&T projects. In addition, to further enable and expand DR in California, SCE is involved in ongoing collaborations and research with other statewide agencies and third‐party stakeholders interested in DR, such as those seen below:
