Demand response (DR) is a program where the utility company contacts a consumer with a request to cut back on their power draw during a curtailment event.DR is not a form of alternative or renewable energy.
Carbon Offsets are reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for or to offset an emission made elsewhere. In the voluntary market, individuals, companies, or governments purchase carbon offsets to mitigate their own greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, electricity use, and other sources. One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
