This document discusses Ohmconnect, Inc.'s efforts in demand response and virtual power plants. It notes that Ohmconnect uses behavioral and automated methods to reduce loads from customers, and has achieved up to 17% load reductions. The document also references California's priority energy plan of focusing first on energy efficiency and demand response, then renewable generation, and finally distributed natural gas generation. It proposes that Ohmconnect can function as a virtual power plant to provide capacity and save taxpayers money compared to building new power plants.
