Load Management

Load Management
  To influence the demand on a power source.
  ***
  Influencing the level and shape of demand for electrical energy so that demand conforms to present supply situations and long-run objectives and constraints.
  ***
  Steps taken to reduce power demand at peak load times or to shift some of it to off-peak times. This may be with reference to peak hours, peak days or peak seasons. The main thing affecting electric peaks is air-conditioning usage, which is therefore a prime target for load management efforts. Load management may be pursued by persuading consumers to modify behavior or by using equipment that regulates some electric consumption.
