Electrical power is one major industry that has shaped and contributed to the progress and technical advances of mankind over the past century. Power must be available to the consumer in any amount that one may require from minute to minute. In generating power, the concept, do far, has been straightforward. If society demanded more power, the power companies would simply find a way to supply users, even by building more generation facilities. This supply-side management technique worket very well until the early 1970s. Mankind began to realize the damage to the atmosphere and ecosystem from the gluttonius consumption of fossil fuels. To power companies began to look for other viable solutions to the problems. Demand-side managements is the planning and implementation of those utility activities designed to influence consumer use of electricity in ways that will produce desired changes in the utilities load shape. Supply-side and demand-side management techniques are both discussed in this paper. Also, these technologies are not the only ones that are useful, but they presently seem to be ones most often considered and discussed..
