What is Demand Side Management What is Demand Side Management

(DSM)?(DSM)?

4

Energy Efficiency

• Using less energy to accomplish the same amount of work or gain the same benefit

(use a more efficient light bulb)

Energy Conservation

• Using less energy

(turn off the light when not using)

TerminologyTerminology

5

Load Shedding

• Customers paid to go offline during peak times

(Frees up megawatts-Demand Response)

Load Shifting

• Spread customer demand over the peak durations or change peak load requirements

(Time of use billing, energy storage technologies)

Load Replacement

• Customers generate their own electricity

(Solar panels on homes, wind turbines on farms, etc.)


6

DSM = Demand Side Management

• Activities intended to alter the consumption pattern of utility customers in order to manage costs for both the utility and end user

(what the utility can do for me)

A portfolio of energy efficiency, conservation, and load

management programs to help Saskatchewan residents:

»Save Power

»Save Money

»Help Protect the Environment

• Going to solve generation replacement challenge – will only offset part of annual load growth

• About selling less electricity to the financial detriment of SaskPower

• Just an ad campaign

• Just a social program
