The US will have 88 GW of residential demand flexibility by 2023, according to a report by Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. This is the first time that the United States has ever had more than one nuclear plant in operation at any given time. Grid-connected smart thermostats can be used to adjust HVAC energy consumption. The growth of smart home devices, home battery storage and electric vehicle charging are adding to the potential demand flexibility, said WoodMac.
