Demand-Side Management (DSM)

Demand-Side Management (DSM) refers to strategies and actions designed to influence and control how and when consumers use electricity. Its goal is to reduce peak demand, improve energy efficiency, and lower costs for both consumers and utilities. This can include using energy-saving appliances, shifting usage to off-peak times, or providing incentives for reduced consumption during busy periods. DSM helps balance electricity supply and demand, making the energy system more reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
