Demand response programs allow electric customers to reduce their demand during the few peak electric use periods during the year.  The customers agree with their utilities/ Independent System Operators (ISOs) in advance to curtail defined levels of load when required in emergency circumstances. Customers cannot control when these options are exercised, and are paid by the utility/ISO for this service.

Dynamic load management operates outside of Demand Response hours and provides customers with the opportunity to generate revenue through participation in the wholesale power market by being actively rewarded for using less power. Unlike Demand Response, customers are in control of when they chose to initiate their reductions. Viridity's VPower software takes the guesswork out of participation by providing an optimal schedule for any Dynamic Load Management strategy.

Any type of load consuming equipment (such as HVAC, lighting, machines etc), back up generation, energy storage or renewables.
