The Demand Stack Advantage: Elevating DSM to Meet Rising Load
Electrification and rising DER adoption is exacerbating load growth and affordability challenges for utilities—but they are also creating new opportunities for load flexibility.
To meet the moment, utilities are reimagining demand-side management (DSM) programs as a coordinated portfolio, integrating energy efficiency, time-varying rates, demand response, and distributed energy resources to create a “Demand Stack”. Adopting this strategy is helping utilities deliver megawatts when and where they're needed most without waiting years for new generation.
