Scaling Residential Demand Response by Prioritizing Comfort: Evidence from 25 Million Energy Shifts

As the United States continues to navigate a period of dramatic growth in electricity demand and rising consumer bills, it is critical that we create new ways for customers to take control of their energy use. 

We believe that Energy Shift can form the foundation of a new type of customer-centric energy program that makes it easy for customers to save and to earn money back—thanks to the benefits their collective savings actions provide to the grid; all without feeling uncomfortable from large temperature adjustments. Renew Home is ready to deploy this solution across the country, which we call Energy Shift Capacity (ESC). 

The analysis in this white paper focuses on quantifying the load impact potential of Energy Shift’s temperature offsets during summer peak demand conditions across the United States.

Learn how these actions add up to 4 GW of capacity across the United States.¹
