This report describes the results of a load impact evaluation for the 2011 program year of portions of Southern California Edison’s (“SCE”) Summer Discount Plan (“SDP”), a direct load control air conditioner cycling program for residential, small commercial (less than 200 kW) and large commercial (greater than 200kW) customers. In 2011, SCE conducted ten short localized dispatch test events for SDP, each ranging from about 30 minutes to an hour and involving participants associated with one of five A-Banks, or sub-transmission level step-down transformer stations. This evaluation covers only events and customers for which premise-level interval load data were available, not the entire SDP participant population.
