#DemandResponse pairs *extremely well* with solar & wind, almost like they were made for each other.

That’s exactly why #ISONewEngland silenced that message in #EclipseGate, and why they try to keep discussions of DR & renewables separated. It hurts gas Peaker plant profits, who dominate #NEPOOL, ISO’s “partner”.

Good news! #ISONewEngland has offered to answer questions about #DemandResponse at the June 4th #ConsumerLiaisonGroup public meeting coming up in Holyoke. DM if you need a ride.

This comes on the heels of this #EclipseGate kerfuffle wherein #ISONewEngland failed to mention DR as a tool to maintain grid balance during the eclipse. Maybe because they don’t actually use it? Hopefully we’ll find out.
