Hirst, E

Will utility demand-side management (DSM) programs fulfill their promise to provide large amounts of cost-effective and environmentally benign energy and capacity resources Much depends on our success in measuring accurately the performance of these programs and in clearly and consistently defining the terms that characterize such programs. This paper discusses these analytical issues and then present a scenario showing how much DSM programs could accomplish if we build a solid foundation of credible data. 10 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
