To fuel the growth, China addeda total of 455 gigawatts of new generation capacity between 2006 and 2011, which is an increase of 76%in five years. Even so, this capacity does not meet the growing demand for electricity, and most ofChina's industrial sector is facing the worst power shortages since 2004. The Chinese government hasbeen managing the capacity shortfall through direct load control programs. While such mandatoryprograms have spared China from electricity outages, it does so at a high cost to the industrial sector.The load control program has significantly affected business operations and economic outputs, whilefailing to trigger greater energy efficiency improvement. Instead, it has led to a proliferation of dieselgenerators used by industrial facilities when electricity is not delivered, increasing diesel use andassociated air pollution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internationally, there is a growing trend in employing market-based approaches through demandresponse (DR) to effectively manage electricity supply and demand particularly during the peak poweruse. China can significantly benefit by localizing international experiences in DR. Such internationalexperiences, when integrated in the ongoing pilot demand-side management (DSM) programs in China,can provide greater flexibility to electricity customers and help China identify a potential solution inaddressing the peak load issues. After the discussion of why China needs a new approach to meet itspeak demand, this paper highlights international experience in adopting enabling policies to promote DRand in employing practical DR strategies geared toward the industrial sector. Through theseexperiences, we provide recommendations for how to integrate DR in China's DSM programs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
