DSM is a set of tools and practices taken by utilities to influence the amount and/or timing of customers’ energy demand in order to use electricity most efficiently. DSM decreases the cost of meeting customers’ energy needs through increased investment in enduse energy efficiency and load management. Demand-side resources can reduce or postpone investment in generation, transmission, and distribution capacity, and decrease fuel consumption, and improve environmental quality.
