Abstract
This report summarizes the Demand Side Management Innovation Initiative (DSMII), a one-year partnership between Great River Energy (GRE), its member cooperatives, the University of Minnesota, the Clean Energy Resource Teams, and the Great Plains Institute. DSMII conducted interviews, engagement sessions, and focus groups with GRE and GRE-member staff to learn about the opportunities and challenges for the future of demand side management (DSM) in GRE’s system. This report summarizes the key findings and recommendations of DSMII, namely the need for stronger collective action to govern DSM and the need for spaces to more actively learn and experiment across the GRE system.
