Overview
DSMP

Due to the constant rise in energy prices, combined with regulatory changes and environmental issues, both electric and gas utilities must work to ensure that energy is consumed in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner as possible. Consumer pressure for energy cost reductions, together with energy availability and reliability issues are challenging the energy industry.

The main objective of the Demand Side Energy Management (DSMP) group is to assist energy providers, the related energy services industry, equipment manufacturers, and governments in helping consumers achieve energy and demand reduction through the development, demonstration and commercialization of customer energy solutions. Through the Interest Group, participants are able to create new products and energy streams, to develop new regulations, standards and guidelines for energy efficiency and DSM applications, as well as provide new technology solutions for customer problems.

Topics and Issues:

  • End Use Technologies
  • Customer-based DG and Storage
  • Demand Side Management
  • Information and Best Practices
  • Supporting Regulations, Codes and Standards
Program Services

  • Networking & Information Sharing

    • Annual face-to-face Business Meetings with webinar call-in options
    • 4-5 conference calls and learning webinars
    • Access to a network of ~1,000 electrical utility peers from around the world

  • Industry Benchmarking

    • Requests for Information where your questions or concerns are circulated to other group
      participants with rapid-fire response rates
    • Internal benchmarking surveys for state-of-the-industry intelligence

  • Collaborative Technical Projects

    • The flexibility to support only those projects which are relevant to your organization, meaning you know exactly, where your research dollars are going
    • Supported by CEATI management, participating utilities and consultants work together across all phases of a project’s life-cycle, ensuring your organization receives practical, high-quality deliverables

  • Unparalleled Return on Investment

    • Ability to split project funding costs with other organizations, resulting in highly-leveraged funding opportunities
    • Reduced pricing on published reports, training courses, and industry-open conferences
