All US electric utilities are required to report to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data on their demand-side management (DSM) programs. These data provide a comprehensive view of utility DSM-program costs and effects (energy savings and load reductions) for 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992 as well as projections for 1993 and 1997. For 1992, US utility DSM programs cost almost $2.4 billion, saved 31,800 GWh, and cut potential peak demand by 32,900 MW. Normalized by retail revenues, sales, and peak demand, utilities spent 1.3% of their revenues to achieve energy and demand reductions of 1.2 and 6.0%, respectively.
