Show Notes
Utilities in Washington state are implementing demand response programs to manage peak electricity use, adjusting thermostats and appliances to prevent grid overload. Despite strong support, participation is low, with only a few percent of customers signing up. These programs significantly reduce wholesale costs and delay the need for new power plants or lines. Experts suggest that time-of-use rates can save households around $144 annually, but utilities must balance increasing participation without alienating customers.
