Winter Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (WPDRS)

Winter Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (WPDRS)

The Winter Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (WPDRS) was introduced in Winter 2003/04 as an incentive to business customers to reduce electricity consumption during the power system's peak hours (5pm-7pm) in winter months. Many industrial and commercial customers participate in the scheme, which is running again this winter. A series of regional workshops are held annually to ensure that companies are aware of the scheme and the potential savings available by participating.

For any WPDRS queries please email WPDRS@eirgrid.com.
