How do you know when demand response is needed?


We will alert you of an upcoming demand response event as soon as we receive notification from either PJM or ERCOT.

These notifications range from 10 – 120 minutes prior to an event, as determined by the governing authority. Both organizations allow demand response programs year-round.
