Responsive Energy Demand Unlocks Clean Energy Act or the REDUCE Act
This bill requires organizations that operate electric grid transmission facilities (e.g., Regional Transmission Organizations or Independent System Operators) to accept bids in a power market from demand response programs of a certain size.
In a demand response program, end-use electricity customers are typically remunerated for voluntarily decreasing their short-term electrical consumption generally in response to compromised grid reliability or high wholesale electricity prices.
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
