demand response programs
Demand response programs refer to voluntary or incentive-based initiatives implemented by utilities or grid operators to encourage consumers to reduce their electricity usage during times of high demand. Participants in these programs are notified of peak demand periods and are incentivized to adjust their energy consumption patterns, such as reducing electricity usage or shifting it to off-peak hours, in order to balance the energy grid and avoid blackouts or high-cost peak power generation.
