A utility action that reduces or curtails end-use equipment or processes. DSM is often used in order to reduce customer load during peak demand and/or in times of supply constraint. DSM includes pro [..]

The use of processes and equipment to reduce the use of electricity or to shift use away from periods of high electrical demand.

Activities or programs that reduce the amount or shift the timing of customer demand

A set of measures utilized to reduce energy consumption. Energy conservation is one kind of DSM.

 The planning, implementation, and monitoring of utility activities designed to encourage consumers to modify patterns of electricity usage, including the timing and level of electricity demand. It refers only to energy and load-shape modifying activities that are undertaken in response to utility-administered programs. It does not refer to energy [..]

All activities undertaken by a utility that reduces or curtails end-use energy demand. DSM is usually used to reduce customer load during peak demand or at times of supply constraint.

A utility program aimed at reducing total consumer use of electricity through conservation or efficiency measures, or shaving peak demand through use of demand-response measures.

The term for all activities or programs undertaken by an electric system or its customers to influence the amount and timing of electricity use. Included in DSM are the planning, implementation and monitoring of utility activities that are designed to influence consumer use of electricity in ways that will produce desired changes in a utility' [..]

The planning, implementation, and monitoring of utility activities designed to influence customer use of electricity in ways that will produce desired changes in a utility's load shape. Utility programs falling under the umbrella of DSM include: load management, customer generation, and innovative rates. These changes must produce benefits to [..]
