Integrated Demand Management (IDM)

Mandate

The integrated demand management business unit is mandated to design integrated solutions to create and mobilise a culture of energy efficiency to solve complex energy demand issues for a sustainable future. Integrated demand management is a key factor in managing the demand for electricity in light of the current electricity system constraints so as to support security of supply.

Refer to the “Leading and partnering to keep the lights on – demand-side management and energy efficiency” section (page 111) in the integrated report for more information.

Energy losses

Energy losses continue to be a challenge for utilities globally, both in developed and developing economies. As a result of increasing production costs in the value chain, utilities have to manage these losses at acceptable levels.

Refer to the “Becoming a high-performance organisation – energy losses and theft” section (page 98) in the integrated report for more information.
