Last week, we shared the findings from “Warming Up to Winter Demand Response”, a new survey in the Smart Energy Snapshot Series that explores what consumers think about participating in demand response programs during cold weather. Fielded to a nationally representative sample of 2,083 consumers, the survey found that 79 percent of consumers would likely participate in a program where they voluntarily adjust their heating system for a small financial incentive in the winter. Respondents were somewhat less interested in a direct load control (DLC) program (59 percent said they would likely participate); however, 69 percent of Americans with a smart thermostat still say that they would likely participate in a DLC program.
