How can you help when demand response is needed?

Demand response is all about easing the stress on the grid. You can do this by either lowering your power consumption or shifting to alternative sources of power for the handful of hours each year that the need arises.

Turning up thermostats, turning off non-essential lighting, changing settings on industrial freezers, and cycling off water pumps are some simple actions that can help.

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.
