Heat waves, hurricanes, wildfires — severe storms and extreme temperatures are increasing, causing longer disruptions in power supply and distribution networks. Now more than ever, utilities are having to plan extensively on how to maintain reliability during emergencies. 

Choosing a sufficiently powerful and flexible demand response system ahead of any crisis can free up valuable resources for utilities, allowing them to shift those resources to other areas during large scale disasters. This Playbook explores the kinds of problems utilities can encounter when delivering power to customers, and how its load aggregation partner can quickly act to mitigate any disruption. Gain insights on:

• Compensating for localized grid damage
• Throttling demand to counter supply shortages
• Load management during extended emergencies
