This white paper explores how Itron's OpenWay solution enables demand response programs for residential, as well as commercial and industrial (C&I), energy consumers. OpenWay?s flexible architectural approach, combined with the adoption of open standards, provides the foundation on which utilities, independent system operators (ISOs), regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and energy service companies can optimize the efficiency of energy delivery across a diverse service territory. The concepts in this document assume a basic understanding of regulatory structures and concepts; as such, definitions for specific terms such as rate tariffs and decoupling are not addressed. This document is intended primarily for electric utility directors and managers who are evaluating demand response and energy efficiency strategies.
