Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions - (CERTS) was formed in 1999 to research, develop, and disseminate new methods, tools, and technologies to protect and enhance the reliability of the U.S. electric power system and efficiency of competitive electricity markets. CERTS is working to accelerate meaningful opportunities for customers to participate voluntarily in competitive electricity markets. Studies focus on determining the effect on market efficiency of customer participation (demand response) and on demonstrating advanced demand-response technologies and strategies that will improve the reliability of the grid.

Peak Load Management Alliance (PLMA) - was formed by a group of organizations with business interests in dealing with the tremendous price fluctuations experienced in the electricity supply markets during the last few years of the twentieth century. These price fluctuations resulted from the market's inability to either generate or transmit a supply of electricity sufficient to meet the demand at certain times. The purpose of the Alliance, a not-for-profit organization, is as follows: "Create a community of expertise on demand response and its role in creating efficient electricity markets. Through this community, the Alliance will bring forward useful information on price responsive loads, market structures and market rules. This will include information on market participants roles, customer needs and actions, enabling technologies, and specific programs as appropriate." *
