Demand-side management (DSM) programs have existed in various forms for almost 15 years, and they continue to become a more essential part of utility resource planning. Several forces are driving this evolution: environmental concerns, regulatory iniciatives, the need to conserve resources, and the desire to defer further power plant and distribution system construction. Because lighting accounts for 30-35 percent of all commercial electricity use, a large number of DSM programs target lighting systems. And potential savings are large-the local technical potential energy savings for commercial lighting systems range from 22-56 percent of the lighting energy current being use [1]. This paper characterizes commercial lighting DSM programs in the United States and addresses EPRI's role in utility DSM efforts. Further, it examines some questions regarding the cost effectiveness of these programs and issues facing future DSM development. INTRODUCTION. THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH OF DSM. Government influence.
