What is Demand Response?
It’s a partnership with businesses and local power companies in our region that helps TVA access cleaner, more affordable power, on demand. By curtailing – or reducing – the demand for electricity during certain time periods, Demand Response programs can also lower energy costs by reducing the need to generate electricity from high-cost fuel sources.
It’s a win for you, too, because your company receives a financial credit for performing.
