DSM Action Plan for Mangalore Electricity Supply Company (MESCOM) based on load research study

In order to devise DSM interventions for the utility, load research forms the starting point. Load research study assists the DSM activities through provision of supporting data of consumer load profiles, which are useful in developing and analysing DSM plans. These DSM plans enable the utility to manage the system loads by motivating consumers to vary the consumption so as to reduce system peak and increase the off peak usage of energy. In view of this, TERI is preparing the DSM Action Plan for Karnataka focusing on the licensed area of Mangalore Electricity Supply Company (MESCOM) based on load research study, with the overall objective of introducing DSM activities. The study comprises two parts: (1) preparation of DSM action plan; and (2) facilitation support for implementing two high priority DSM interventions.
