Commercial Load Management
**The 2010 Commercial Load Management has met the program’s 2010 goal and has been closed to additional applications. **
Program Description
Oncor pays incentives to Service Providers who work with local commercial and manufacturing facilities to achieve documented, on peak demand reductions in those facilities.
The program is designed to assist businesses reduce their on-peak energy demand and help meet the state's energy goals.
The demand reductions must be verified by Oncor in order for the incentives to be paid. We do this by reviewing data recorded on Interval Data Recorders (IDRs) and calculating the amount of demand savings achieved through the "curtailment" during the summer on-peak season. The incentive is paid directly to the program participant.
