" Dynamic pricing and frequent
dispatching of customer-approved

To bring Demand Response (DR) into
the mainstream will involve new
ideas, additional program design,
system improvements and enabling
technologies to facilitate customer
participation and improved marketing
approaches and comprehensive
outreach with compatible
energy efficiency (EE) activities.”
