Electricity demand is the amount of electricity being consumed at any given time. It rises and falls throughout the day in response to a number of things, including the time and environmental factors. Managing demand is key for utilities, and this became an increasing issue at the end of the 20th century, as utilities struggled to balance electricity needs with aging electrical grids.
