Advancing dynamic energy management
The California Load Flexibility Research and Development Hub (CalFlexHub) brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts from numerous sectors—including industry, utilities, academia, manufacturers, and non-profits—to identify, evaluate, develop, fund, and demonstrate promising pre-commercial energy efficiency and distributed energy resource technologies that are flexible, interoperable, and grid-integrated.

Goals
- Advance the capability of buildings to provide a flexible energy load for the State of California
-
Identify, evaluate, develop, and demonstrate pre-commercial, load-flexible technologies
-
Standardize the signals used to communicate dynamic price and GHG information to these technologies
-
Achieve California’s Renewable Generation and Decarbonization Goals

Program Objectives
The CalFlexHub team seeks to achieve ambitious objectives:
-
Identify, develop, evaluate, demonstrate and deploy cost-effective, scalable, building load-flexible (LF) technologies that are consistent with building energy efficiency, appliance, and load management standards.
-
Create a portfolio of LF RDD&D technology projects across various building types and sizes including single-family-residential, multi-family, commercial buildings and integrated campuses.
-
Deploy LF technologies to demonstrate the ability for 99% of the state’s customers to receive the load management standards price and marginal GHG signals.
-
Deploy key technologies for disadvantaged and low-income communities to overcome financial and health burdens.
-
Identify ways to improve usability of technology solutions to increase ratepayer benefits.
-
Evaluate and demonstrate key technologies for disadvantaged and low-income communities to overcome financial and health burdens and develop plans to build capacity through innovation and targeted deployment of those technologies.
-
Leverage additional public and private funding to accelerate deployment of flexible technologies and strategies to the market.
-
Research and create a database of key performance metrics for 20–50 technology and strategy pathways and generate these metrics for 2025, 2030, and 2040.
-
Develop and deploy the CalFlexHub Solutions Center website and a clearinghouse to disseminate information, technology reports, and case studies to report on “what works,” sharing California and national R&D.
