The Federal Energy Management Program developed profiles of demand response programs and time-variable rates throughout the United States. These programs provide incentives for electricity consumers to manage loads by encouraging load curtailment and/or shifting, thereby mitigating some of these fluctuations and risks.
How to Use the Table
The table can be filtered and/or sorted to identify programs of interest based on the following criteria:
- By state
- By utility/ISO/RTO
- Whether or not it is open to new customers
- Whether it is a program or rate
- Whether or not agencies can take electric service using a Task Order under a GSA Areawide Contract.
