Western Power has developed a demand management program for major customers, called the Peak Demand Saver Program, whereby Western Power will pay customers supplied by the South West Interconnected System to reduce electricity consumption during the 2004/05 summer (December to March). These reductions in consumption will help maintain the reliability of the electricity system, which could come under stress if there is a generator failure and/or high demand due to extreme hot weather periods.
