In an affidavit filed today with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on demand response compensation in organized wholesale markets, the “father of regulatory economics” Dr. Alfred E. Kahn testified in support of FERC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to require that organized wholesale markets compensate demand response in the same manner as generation. In his testimony, Dr. Kahn emphasizes that “demand response is in all essential respects economically equivalent to supply response,” and that “economic efficiency requires, as the NOPR recognizes, that it should be rewarded with the same Locational Marginal Price (LMP) that clears the market.” |
