Demand Response
Demand response is a strategy used by energy utilities providers and grid operators to balance energy supply and demand during periods of high demand or limited supply. By providing financial incentives or implementing different pricing structures, demand response programmes encourage consumers to either reduce or shift their electricity consumption to off-peak times. This can help to stabilise the grid, reduce the need for new power plants, lower energy costs, and also support the integration of renewable energy systems.
