Interruptible Load
Topic
Interruptible loads refer to electrical or utility loads that can be voluntarily shut down or reduced by customers during periods of peak demand or grid stress. In exchange for allowing utilities to temporarily curtail their service, participating commercial and industrial customers typically receive discounted rates, bill credits, or other financial incentives. This mechanism serves as a key demand-side management tool to maintain power grid stability and prevent blackouts.
