Demand response (DR)
Demand response (DR)
Facing the challenges derived from the rise in gas and electricity prices and the beginning of the dry season in Brazil, points to a solution that deserves to be evaluated by the electric sector is to implement a DR program.
The justification is very simple. Paying an attractive bonus for consumers who voluntarily reduce their consumption when the national system operator identifies peaks, is a real win-win as it avoids the dispatch of very expensive thermal plants.
DR has been a successful program for many years in a list of countries. It should be implemented ASAP, so that Brazil captures an opportunity that only depends on its own interest, commitment and planning to structure it.
Does Brazil have leadership in the electricity sector to make it happen for 2022?
