TeachMeFinance.com - explain Demand-side management (DSM) Demand-side management (DSM) The term 'Demand-side management (DSM)' as it applies to the area of energy can be defined as ' A utility action that reduces or curtails end-use equipment or processes. DSM is often used in order to reduce customer load during peak demand and/or in times of supply constraint. DSM includes programs that are focused, deep, and immediate such as the brief curtailment of energy-intensive processes used by a utility's most demanding industrial customers, and programs that are broad, shallow, and less immediate such as the promotion of energy-efficient equipment in residential and commercial sectors'.
