Bob King, President and Founder of Good Company Associates, will present on the challenges presented as the role of demand response expands within ERCOT and demand response's potential contribution to resource adequacy in both the near-term and the future. He will discuss current opportunities, the short-term possibilities within the next one to two years, and what is likely to occur long-term within the next three to five years. ERS and “peak-shaving” products will also be addressed.
