    Why Assess the Potential of Demand Response – And Why Now?

    Demand Response refers to the ability to adjust electricity consumption in response to grid needs—particularly during peak load periods. It allows energy use to be shifted or reduced, helping to balance the power system and avoid costly investments in new production or grid infrastructure. For distribution system operators (DSOs), demand response presents a valuable opportunity to enhance network efficiency, lower costs, and meet increasing regulatory requirements.

    Unlocking the Full Potential of Demand Response

    Assessing the Potential of Demand Response

    Mapping the potential of demand response helps distribution system operators understand how flexibility can be utilized efficiently — from technical, business, and financial perspectives.

    The goal of the assessment is to provide a clear overall picture:

    • What does demand response require?

    • What is the company currently capable of?

    • What are the alternative actions available?

    This understanding enables the allocation of appropriate resources, prioritization of actions, and integration of demand response into both daily operations and long-term planning. The company can anticipate change, react more agilely, and ensure efficient and purposeful operations in a changing environment.
