As of 2017, the company had 850 megawatts of demand response capability in its Minnesota territory, about 10% of its system peak demand. That year, Xcel and state utility regulators agreed to a target of growing demand response enrollment by 50% over six years — an increase of 425 megawatts by 2023. Earlier this year, Xcel …
This is to use distributed resources whether on the supply side (DGs and storage) or on the demand side (demand response and energy efficiency) to avert the need for lumpy investment in costly redundant transformers (Hemdan and Kurrat, 2011). These resources can be procured to meet the extra demand projection plus a reserve …
