description: "DIAMOND represents the decision-making environment that utility planners\
  \ and executives face. Users interact with the model after every year or two of\
  \ simulation, which provides an opportunity to modify past decisions as well as\
  \ to make new decisions. For example, construction of a power plant can be started\
  \ one year, and if circumstances change, the plant can be accelerated, mothballed,\
  \ cancelled, or continued as originally planned. Similarly, the marketing and financial\
  \ incentives for demand-side management programs can be changed from year to year.\
  \ This frequent user interaction with the model, an operational game, should build\
  \ greater understanding and insights among utility planners about the risks associated\
  \ with different types of resources."
