Program Summary

The 2008 AEP Texas Central Company Load Management Standard Offer Program was developed to pay incentives to energy efficiency service providers (e.g., contractors, energy service companies, retail electric providers, or customers) for load interruptions of electric consumption on short notice during peak demand periods. Incentives are based on verified demand savings that occur at AEP distribution customer’s site as a result of an interruption.

To participate in the Load Management SOP, sponsoring participants undergo an application process and then enter into an Agreement with AEP. Under the Standard Agreement, the Project Sponsor agrees to deliver demand savings to AEP from an AEP distribution customer, using load that is subject to load management curtailment activities (Interruptible Load) at that customer’s site. AEP will verify actual demand savings from interruptions and payment will be submitted to the Project Sponsor based on the verified savings achieved by the interruptions.

Program details can be found in the Load Management Program Manual, which can be downloaded via the left menu bar by clicking on Program Manual or from our Downloads/Tools page.
