Timing is everything

Demand management – which can make up to 20 to 40 percent of your energy costs – aims to adjust energy consumption patterns to better align with supply. This can involve reducing energy use during peak demand periods or shifting it to off-peak times.

Methods of Demand Management

Our experts specialize in enabling cost savings and value capture through demand response, peak load management, and flexible load response and utility programs.

  • Financial Incentives

    Programs like Demand Response offer financial rewards to consumers who reduce their energy use during peak periods. This helps to alleviate stress on the grid and can result in significant cost savings for participants.

  • Behavioral Change

    Educating consumers about the benefits of shifting their energy use can lead to more sustainable consumption patterns. AEP Energy offers PeakAdvisory® a service that notifies you before high peak times, allowing you to decide if reducing your usage during these periods is beneficial for your business.

  • Technology Integration

    Advanced technologies like smart meters, energy management systems, and distributed energy resources, such as solar panels and battery storage play a significant role. These technologies help monitor, and control energy use more effectively.

Benefits of Demand Management

The primary goals are to lower energy costs, enhance grid stability, and reduce the need for additional power generation infrastructure. By encouraging consumers to use energy when renewable generation is high and demand is low, it supports a more sustainable energy system.

    Cost Savings

    By reducing energy use during peak times, businesses and consumers can lower their electricity bills.

  • Grid Reliability

    Demand management helps prevent blackouts and ensures a stable supply of electricity.

  • Environmental Impact

    Reducing the need for additional power plants, especially those that rely on fossil fuels, helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Future of Demand Management

As the energy landscape evolves, demand management will become even more critical. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can optimize energy use, predict demand patterns, and enhance the integration of renewable energy sources.
