  Key Concepts:

This helps customers save money on their energy bills and reduce their environmental impact. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Demand response can be used by customers to adjust their energy consumption in response to changes in the market price of energy. Customers can set up rules that will automatically adjust their energy consumption when the market price of energy changes. They can also take advantage of incentives offered by energy providers, such as discounts for using less energy during peak times. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up rules for demand response, it is important to consider the cost of energy and the potential savings that can be achieved. It is also important to consider the environmental impact of adjusting energy consumption, as this can have a positive effect on reducing emissions.
