[BC] Electricity peak shaving

[Dana Puopolo]

I dunno. Some power companies actually offer this to Homeowners. I know that
when Craig Healy worked at WBRU, one of their SCAs was used to control load
shedding devices, including ones located in homes.

I thought I would touch on what Dana mentioned here regarding credits from the
utility company, based on what we have learned through our experience.

What Dana referred to is called a Demand/Response program, or peak shaving. 
It is my experience that the power company itself isn't interested in talking
to you about participating unless you're swinging at least a megawatt.
