Demand Response (DR) can play an important role by allowing customers to reduce load consumption during critical periods. This paper presents demand response program that has been implemented in Thailand in 2015. The paper firstly presents backgrounds of gas field shutdown in Myanmar and in JDA-A18 together with their impacts to generation capacity. Details of DR program including implementation procedure, target MW, timing, incentive price and target customers are described in details. Performance of DR is then measured by using the actual reduction in the consumption compared to the baseline, which is classified based on Time of Use electricity rate. The paper also discusses pros and cons of the present DR program together with future work. This information may be useful for electric power utilities who wish to implement DR program in the future.
