Filling in the Gap: Added Value from Load Shifting from Avoided Cost and Emissions in the Midwest

This research addresses this barrier by quantifying the economic, energy, and emissions impacts of measures that shift load with or without saving energy. The goal of the research is to identify how these measures may fit within a Midwestern state’s energy efficiency program. We model multiple measures in a variety of future planning scenarios that include higher penetrations of renewable generation as well as increases in electrical load through electrification.
