	Energy demand management Summary
		The quantity of energy supplied is the flow of energy brought onto the market, and the quantity of energy demanded is the amount of energy purchased for a particular period of time.
		Energy demand management is often referred to also as demand side management(DSM).
		Energy demand management usually implies actions that influence the quantity of energy consumed by users.

	Energy demand management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Energy demand management usually implies actions that influence the quantity of energy consumed by users.
		Peak demand management does not necessarily decrease total energy consumption but could be expected to reduce the need for investments in networks and/or power plants.
		An early example is the National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 in the U.S., preceded by similar actions in California and Wisconsin in 1975.

	Water & Energy Alternatives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Demand management treats the volume and pattern of water– or power–consumption as variable, and aims to change the behaviour of consumers either voluntarily (prices, education) or involuntarily (regulations, policies).
		Demand management efforts have been most effective when governments have required utilities to periodically submit long–term plans for meeting consumer demand in the cheapest way possible (usually this is part of an integrated resource planning process).
		Demand management includes several approaches to conserve water, including economic policies, notably water pricing; laws and regulations, such as restrictions on certain types of water use; public and community participation, to ensure that solutions are workable and have public support, and technical solutions, such as installing water flow restrictors.

	Energy Efficiency, Conservation and Demand Management
		Energy efficiency is the ability to use less energy to produce the same amount of useful work or services.
		Demand management is a newcomer on the scene and is the ability to adjust energy loads to reflect immediate supply conditions.
		A form of energy demand management you and I may participate in is air conditioner or water heater use curtailment.

	Energy - Energy Demand Management
		The Green Paper on Energy Efficiency points to the fact that the EU could save at least 20% of its present energy consumption in a cost-effective manner, equivalent to EUR 60 billion per year, or the present combined energy consumption of Germany and Finland.
		Furthermore, a successful energy efficiency scheme means that some of the 60 billion not spent on energy translates as a net saving, resulting in increased competitiveness and better living conditions for EU citizens.
		Energy saving is without doubt the quickest, most effective and most cost-effective manner for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as improving air quality, in particular in densely populated areas.

	Peak Load Management
		Demand Response: Electric power generation and distribution systems are strongly affected by supply-side policies (how, when, and where to generate electricity, how to couple generation into the grid, how to transmit and distribute generated electricity) and demand-side policies (pricing schemes, conservation efforts, customer premises automation, and, in extreme circumstances, rolling flouts).
		Demand Response (DR) is a set of activities to reduce or shift electricity use to improve electric grid reliability, manage electricity costs, and ensure that customers receive signals that encourage load reduction during times when the electric grid is near its capacity.
		These technologies are used to smooth out the peaks and dips in energy demand — by reducing consumption at peak times ("peak shaving"), increasing it during off-peak times ("valley filling"), or shifting the load from peak to off-peak periods — to maximize use of efficient baseload generation and reduce the need for spinning reserves.

	Energy Demand Management
		Demand Response Programs are programs usually designed and offered by electric utilities that offers those clients that sign-up for specific DR programs with financial incentives and other benefits that help those participating customers to curtail energy use.
		Energy efficiency is neither their core business nor are the decision-makers who will enable this technology powerful players in their organizations.
		Energy Effects represent changes at the consumer's meter (i.e., exclude transmission and distribution effects) and reflect only activities that are undertaken specifically in response to utility-administered programs, including those activities implemented by third parties under contract to the utility.

	Urban Ecology Australia - Energy Demand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Alternative energy is generally more expensive than fossil fuel energy and supply capacity is more constrained (by limits on the land available for fuel plantations, and on sites suitable for wind turbines, hydroelectricity generators, and geothermal power generators, for example).
		Growing demand for air conditioning, especially for residential use, is increasing overall electricity consumption, and putting strain on existing electricity transmission and generation infrastructure, which cannot cope with demand spikes on the hottest days of the year.
		While governments are rightly worried about the estimated increase in energy demands in the next few years, their proposed solution is to build more power stations, poles and wires.

	SFWATER.ORG : Demand Management
		Demand management can be defined as “utility activities designed to influence customer use of electricity in ways that will produce desired changes in the utility’s load shape – i.e.
		Load management is traditionally associated with peak-clipping, load curtailment (dimming of lights or changing temperature set points), load shifting (shifting use of water pumps to off-peak periods during emergencies), duty cycling (cycling of air conditioners during peak periods), demand limiting (throttling back on consumption to maintain a pre-determined maximum).
		Strategic energy efficiency refers to energy efficiency measures that reduce peak demand, such as office lighting retrofits.

	Demand response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is different from energy efficiency, which is performing the same services but using less power.
		This encourages users to flatten their demand for energy, known as energy demand management, which sometimes requires cutting back services temporarily.
		The report estimates that in 2004 potential demand response capability equaled about 20,500 megawatts (MW), 3% of total U.S. peak demand, while actual delivered peak demand reduction was about 9,000 MW (1.3% of peak), leaving ample margin for improvement.

	Knowledge Problem: CODA TO THE PUGET SOUND ENERGY DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
		Furthermore, halfway demand management approaches are more a creature of risk aversion than of courageous, innovative change, which severely limits the success of such programs.
		They probably realize that demand side management, even when successful in reducing peak loads, does not protect them from crises which are spawned on the supply side.
		Remember, the supposed payoff from reducing demand during peak periods is measured in terms of less investment in generating and transmission capacity.

	Europe Moves Closer to Energy Demand Law
		BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 9, 2003 (ENS) - Managing the demand for energy is emerging as a European strategy for meeting the targets set by the Kyoto Protocol for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
		Initial proposals by the Commission's Energy Directorate are said to envision a range of actions designed to influence energy users.
		In the past, efforts to promote the provision of energy services by power companies stalled for reasons ranging from low consumer interest to poor incentives for suppliers, since electricity prices started falling as a result of liberalization.

	A National Demand Management Strategy for Small Airconditioners
		Air conditioner peak demand is one of the major factors driving capital investment in the National Electricity Market, as well as a mechanism for cross-subsidy between AC users and non-users.
		This rate of growth in peak demand from air conditioners is likely to outstrip the countervailing effects of energy efficiency programs, which have a limited, indirect and uncertain effect on peak load, and even of programs which seek to reduce the demand of larger users at times of summer peak demand.
		The Task Force should develop a National Demand Management Strategy for Small Airconditioners covering the next 10 years, with the early phase of the plan recognising and working with the existing framework of State-based electricity legislation and regulation, and the latter phase recognising the transition to a national framework.
