What does DR performance measure in the KPI set?

Participation and savings during demand response events. The number of DR devices installed. The cost of DR equipment maintenance. The CO2 footprint of DR operations.

Correct Answer:

Participation and savings during demand response events.

Explanation:

Demand response performance in the KPI set is about how effective the program is in real events: it looks at participation—how many customers or DR devices actually respond—and the savings or load reduction achieved during those events. This focus measures the actual impact of DR efforts on the grid, showing both how broadly the program is used and how much energy it saves when called upon. The other options aren’t about real-time impact: the number of devices installed relates to capacity or penetration, maintenance cost is about ongoing expense, and CO2 footprint concerns environmental impact rather than immediate DR effectiveness.
