Latest News from Peak Load Management Alliance
The Peak Load Management Alliance (PLMA) was founded in 1999
as the national voice of demand response practitioners. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to provide
resources and advocacy towards critical energy management initiatives. We are a community of experts applying our
knowledge and skills to address the challenges and opportunities in our rapidly
changing energy landscape.
PLMA members share expertise to educate each other and
explore innovative approaches to demand response programs, price and rate
response, regional regulatory issues, and technologies as the energy markets
evolve. PLMA does no lobbying, but
serves as an information source to practitioners and regulatory agencies.
Membership in PLMA is open to any organization interested in
demand response. PLMA represents a broad
range of energy professionals and industries – private and publicly owned
utilities, technology companies, energy providers, curtailment service
providers, meter and equipment suppliers, system integrators, research
organizations, consultants, and consumers.
