What is Demand Response?
When the demand for electricity spikes, electrical grid operators generally meet that excess demand by ramping up expensive power plants or buying high-cost electricity from nearby areas. In some cases, the grid simply cannot effectively deliver enough electricity to meet demand, which can lead to power outages and quality issues.

Demand response programs encourage energy end-users to cut consumption during these critical times. Participants receive financial reward for simply being willing to cut energy use, regardless of whether or not there is a call for curtailment. By volunteering to reduce consumption during times of peak demand, participants help electrical grid operators control energy costs, prevent the construction of additional power plants and reduce negative environmental impacts.
