Instead of working on the demand side, attention has turned to stimulating business through tax cuts, entrepreneurship and innovation while phasing out excess capacity resulting from the previous stimulus.

In contrast, export volumes decreased over this period, despite strong global demand, as capacity and infrastructure constraints and supply disruptions restricted growth; such supply - side factors have hampered exports for a number of years, with resource export volumes now lower than during 2000 (see the chapter entitled «Australia's Resource Exports — Recent Trends and Prospects» in this Statement).

With average electricity demand rising annually at 1.5 % -2 % and peak demand rising at around double that rate in some sections of the country (and remember that majority of the generating and T&D capacity is dedicated to meeting peak demand for a few hours each year)... we need to approach the electricity issue not only by considering the generating side of the equation but careful consideration of the rest of the pieces as well.

«Member States should therefore primarily consider alternative ways of achieving generation adequacy which do not have a negative impact on the objective of phasing out environmentally or economically harmful subsidies, such as facilitating demand side management and increasing interconnection capacity.»

Battery storage and demand - side response have continued to play a crucial role in the UK's power mix, together landing more than 500MW of contracts in the most recent T - 1 Capacity Market auction.

«Capacity mechanisms should only be developed to address security of supply if a regional system adequacy assessment points to such a need, taking into account the potential for energy efficiency and demand - side response.»

«The commission will ensure that energy efficiency and demand side response can compete on equal terms with generation capacity.»

-- In addition to the policy under paragraph (1), it is the policy of the United States that regional electric grid planning to meet these objectives should result from an open, inclusive and transparent process, taking into account all significant demand - side and supply - side options, including energy efficiency, distributed generation, renewable energy and zero - carbon electricity generation technologies, smart - grid technologies and practices, demand response, electricity storage, voltage regulation technologies, high capacity conductors with at least 25 percent greater efficiency than traditional ACSR (aluminum stranded conductors steel reinforced) conductors, superconductor technologies, underground transmission technologies, and new conventional electric transmission capacity and corridors.

Flexibility, dispatchability and capacity (as well as other services such as inertia and frequency control) can be provided by storage, other renewable technologies and the cheapest — demand - side management.

[3] Each state has interim targets it must meet beginning in 2020, and the EPA proposed that states use a combination of four «building blocks» to achieve the emissions reductions: (1) improving the efficiency (heat rate) of existing coal - fired power plants; (2) switching from coal - fired power by increasing the use and capacity factor, or efficiency, of natural - gas combined - cycle power plants; (3) using less carbon - intensive generating power, such as renewable energy or nuclear power; and (4) increasing demand - side energy - efficiency measures.

Both companies also won separate contracts to provide demand side response and grid balancing from their aggregated capacity.
