Introduction of DSM: After decades of reliance primarily upon supply-side resources, Distribution Companies (Discoms) are bringing demand-side management (DSM) programs into the mainstream of available resources. Most Discoms today are attempting to shape future demands of their customers through a variety of DSM programs. The DSM website has been created to develop knowledge, improve awareness, share best practices and support stakeholders initiatives on this matter.
