Electricity Markets and Policy > Staff > Peter Cappers

Peter Cappers, a Principle Scientific Engineering Associate in the Electricity Markets and Policy Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has conducted research for the past 8 years into demand response and energy efficiency issues. He has helped to develop and implement techniques for quantifying customer price response to both dynamic retail rates and wholesale demand response programs, and their subsequent impact on wholesale market prices, price volatility, and service reliability. Mr. Cappers has also spent time assisting retail and wholesale clients in analyzing, developing, and implementing DR programs that maximize end-use customer participation while attempting to minimize "free-ridership". Recently, he has performed substantial research into the financial implications from utility shareholder incentive mechanisms for energy efficiency, to better understand how stakeholders are affected under different utility characteristics, EE portfolio composition, and shareholder incentive design features. Mr. Cappers received a B.A. in 1997 from Syracuse University in Mathematics and Economics, and a M.S. in 2005 from Cornell University in Applied Economics.
