PJM Guide to Earning Incentives Through Demand Response Programs

This fact sheet from PJM Interconnection offers a detailed overview of how demand response (DR) works within its wholesale electricity markets. It explains the difference between Load Management and Economic DR, outlines the role of Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs), and highlights how participating businesses can earn payments or incentives for curtailing load during critical grid periods.

It also examines how DR plays a crucial role in PJM’s capacity and ancillary services markets, especially during peak demand scenarios, such as heatwaves, while promoting broader participation across the grid. Ideal for commercial and industrial consumers, energy consultants, and facility operators looking to monetize flexibility and reduce energy costs.
