Demand Management involves looking for alternate options to complement traditional network solutions.
We examine various cost-effective and ecologically friendly alternatives to effectively utilise our resources and expenditure, with the aim of effectively delivering a safe and reliable energy supply - now and in the future.
We continue to refine the application of traditional Demand Management options and monitor emerging and innovative demand management applications – so as to capture benefits for both customers and stakeholders.
By reducing peak demand through Demand Management strategies, we may be more efficient in the use of our existing infrastructure and therefore offer reduced network costs.
