The paper introduces DR‑Gym, an open‑source, Gymnasium‑compatible environment that simulates electric utility demand‑response programs at the market level. It uses a regime‑switching wholesale price model calibrated to real extreme events and physics‑based building demand profiles, providing a rich observational space and a configurable multi‑objective reward function for reinforcement learning. Baseline strategies and data snapshots demonstrate the simulator’s realism and learnability.

LoaDiff is a diffusion-based generative model that produces year-long, sub-hourly smart‑meter electricity consumption time series. It can be conditioned on static household attributes like appliance ownership and dynamic factors such as calendar dates and outdoor temperature. Evaluations on three residential datasets show that LoaDiff generates realistic, diverse load profiles, limits memorization, retains useful information for downstream tasks, and responds coherently to conditioning changes.
