On November 12-14, 2018, Ally CEO Ray Pustinger will be in Austin, Texas, to attend the PLMA 2018 Fall Conference. The conference provides an opportunity for leaders in the fields of load management, demand response (DR), and distributed energy resources (DER) to come together and discuss the latest field advancements and new possibilities on the horizon.
PLMA – The Leading Voice in DR and DER
The Peak Load Management Association (PLMA) was founded in 1999 to be a community where load management experts could share their knowledge and advance the industry as a whole. The association brings together utility companies, trade allies, and solutions providers for peer-to-peer networking and the opportunity to examine implementation strategies from the perspectives of various stakeholders.

A Move Toward 24/7 Energy Load Management
As the name PLMA implies, it used to be that the load management community was focused on managing relatively static peak loads at the grid level. In today’s evolving energy landscape, system peaks have become more dynamic due to a growing population of distributed energy resources, on-site renewable power sources, and utility price models that are driven as much by time of use as they are by volume. The PLMA focus has evolved to 24/7 load management and achieving even higher system efficiency levels at the distribution and facility levels.
