Discover the unique ways in which each department within a utility can benefit from demand response
The European utility industry is changing in substantial ways with respect to electricity system needs, customer requirements, and regulatory policy. Network operators and managers face the inevitable adoption of Demand Response (DR) technology and practice.
As network design and operation models change in response to new technology and regulation, the European utility industry clearly faces Demand Response (DR) adoption on a large scale. Many European utilities’ development strategies feature numerous smart grid initiatives, of which DR is one key component.
Naturally, there are many stakeholders within any utility. In order to sufficiently cope with new network design and operational challenges, it’s important for each of these stakeholders to understand the unique ways they can benefit from DR technologies and practices.
A great number of European utilities have placed smart grid initiatives at the center of their development strategy, and DR is a key component of smart grid technology. One way or another – be it at the demand of customers, markets, or changing regulatory policy – DR is coming.
