Innovative DSM tools to help bridge the supply-demand investment gap -- Luiz Maurer,
World Bank (Moderator). Susan Covino, PJM Interconnection; Ahmad Faruqui, Charles River Associates; and Grayson Heffner, World Bank -- Recent power shortages and blackouts around the world have created renewed interest in using the demand side of electricity markets to avoid or ameliorate such crises. New approaches to demand response involving price and quantity rationing have been proposed and successfully tested in several developed countries. Unfortunately, the Bank's client countries are not fully harnessing the potential of demand response to make their power systems more reliable and to provide affordable electricity. This panel will share some of those experiences and will discuss how developing countries can potentially benefit from innovative demand-side management techniques.
