Demand-Response Management: Grid Stability and Energy Savings
This act aims to promote technologies and practices that help reduce electricity consumption in homes and businesses during peak demand periods. This will make the power grid more stable, especially during extreme weather events, potentially preventing outages and lowering energy costs for citizens.
Key points
Electric utilities will promote solutions to reduce electricity use by residential and industrial consumers during high-demand periods.
State authorities may establish mechanisms for utilities to recover costs associated with promoting these solutions, which could impact electricity bills.
The act encourages the installation of energy-saving technologies in federal and commercial buildings, potentially leading to lower long-term energy costs.
