Demand management is an integral part of our network investment planning process to identify and implement the right balance of network and non-network solutions to enable efficient network investment that lowers costs for our customers.
We regularly review our capital expenditure plans to identify where demand management solutions offer a cost effective alternative to network investment. This includes network investment for both managing peak demand and replacing aged network equipment. Solutions might include temporary demand reductions such as demand response or permanent demand reductions such as energy efficiency and solar generation.
