Addressing power supply and demand imbalance through the use of demand-side resources is a relatively new approach at the current stage of power sector development. The analysis and determination of regional demand-side resource potential are a key to enable the scientific and rational development of demand-side resources, including uncovering and realizing their market value. This report proposes a practical methodology for quantifying demand-side resource potential, including a four-quadrant analysis method for prioritizing end user-side resource development. The report provides a basis for advancing demand side resource utilization and market participation from the perspectives of macro government planning, industry sector and enterprises. The city of Huzhou is selected as a case study for the demand-side resource potential analysis to provide theoretical support for the construction of a diversified and highly resilient power grid, as well as the formulation of comprehensive resource planning and green development strategies.
