6.0 Direct Load Control Plan Exclusive Features
In a direct load control (DLC) plan, you voluntarily allow your utility company to control
major appliances in your home when demand for electricity peaks. These instances of peak
demand are called "utility events" and when they occur, the utility will take action, such as
adjusting the thermostat temperature or cycling your air conditioner on and off, for the
duration of the event. Under most circumstances you can opt in or opt out of a utility event.
