Description

In some respects, demand-side management programs haven't changed much over the years. The goal of demand response (DR) programs is to reduce demand during peak demand periods, and the goal of energy-efficiency (EE) programs is to reduce energy use across the board. These goals have stayed constant throughout the years. However, in other respects, the DSM landscape has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. New technologies, markets, and strategies are enabling types of DSM programs that were not feasible in the past.
