This document summarizes an automated demand response project using smart meters. Over 400 consumers were audited and 165 industrial and commercial consumers enrolling, with an identified peak load reduction potential of 14 MW. These consumers cover over 200 square kilometers and include industries like flour mills and plastic plants as well as commercial establishments. The project utilizes smart meters, a head end system to collect meter data, a distribution resource automation system to calculate load baselines and shedding amounts, and a customer portal to provide consumption data to users.
