Demand response is the largest underutilized reliability resource in North America. Historic demand response programs have focused on reducing overall electricity consumption (increasing efficiency) and shaving peaks but have not typically been used
for immediate reliability response. Many of these programs have been successful but demand response remains a limited resource. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) report, Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering (FERC 2006) found that only five percent of customers are on some form of demand response program. Collectively they represent an estimated 37,000 MW of response
potential. These programs reduce overall energy consumption and they also reduce stress on the power system at times of peak loading. More recently demand response has begun to be considered, and in some cases actually
used, to directly supply reliability services to the power system. Rather than reducing
overall power system stress by reducing peak loading over multiple hours these programs
are targeted to immediately respond to specific reliability events. This is made possible
by advances in communications and controls and has benefits for the power system and
the load.

The document analyzes the evolving threat of nuclear terrorism, assesses progress made and remaining gaps, and discusses obstacles to further progress. It concludes by recommending actions needed to achieve continuous improvement in nuclear security to prevent dangerous decline.
This document provides a summary of a renewable energy roadmap developed for the Republic of Cyprus. Key components of the analysis were developed by the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and Cyprus University of Technology. The roadmap examines electricity demand forecasts, electricity supply scenarios, the role of variable renewable energy (VRE), and technologies to provide grid support services from VRE. Scenarios analyze electricity generation pathways to 2030 under different policy assumptions. The roadmap finds that significant deployment of solar PV and wind can meet renewable targets in a cost-effective manner while reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.
This document summarizes the state of the global oil market in early 2016, when oil prices had collapsed to their lowest levels in over a decade. It finds that despite low prices, oil production continues to grow due to ongoing investments. Major producing countries like Canada, Iran, Iraq, and others are still bringing new production capacity online or restoring existing fields. The only possibilities for a substantial price recovery seem to be unexpected geopolitical events disrupting supply or a formal agreement by producers like OPEC to cut output, though such an agreement would be difficult to implement. Overall, supply appears set to continue outpacing demand in 2016, keeping downward pressure on prices.
Harvard University The energy implications of a nuclear deal between the p51 ...Andy Varoshiotis
The document summarizes a workshop discussing the potential energy implications of a nuclear deal between the P5+1 and Iran. Key points of discussion included:
- Experts anticipated Iran could increase oil production by 800,000 barrels per day within a year of sanctions being lifted, though reaching higher levels would require overcoming obstacles in Iranian decision-making.
- There was debate around how much foreign investment Iran could attract and the challenges it may face re-entering energy markets during a time of low oil prices.
- Lifting sanctions may hasten competition as Iran and other producers increase output and see oil as having limited long-term value, which could impact geopolitics and relations in the region.
