A demand response program with contractual obligations to reduce load during certain periods of the year.
Participants make themselves available during scheduled hours for potential notices to reduce load. Participants can select to make themselves available to reduce load up to 100 hours or 200 hours per year.
Direct participants and aggregators are eligible to participate. The DR 3 Program makes both availability (capacity) and energy payments. Failure to comply with the contract requirements of the DR 3 Program can result in set-offs against potential revenue.
NOTE: The program rules, prices, schedules, participation zones, and other specific elements of the DR 3 Program are subject to change as required to meet Ontario's energy conservation goals.
