Resumen
The article calls to reflect on the demand side management framework as an alternative to improve the sustainability of the Costa Rican electricity system, as well as an alternative to move forward the debate about the electricity model. The future of a sustainable electricity sector points towards the integration of smart grid, distributed generation, high penetration of non-conventional renewable energies, and energy efficient technologies. This article advocates for demand side management as the core of a public policy with a long-term vision that supports and integrates the strategies previously mentioned. The article recognizes the vulnerability of the Costa Rican national electricity system, explains the demand side management conceptual framework, as well as the advantages and potential hurdles for its implementation. Lastly, it identifies some key actions to facilitate the development of a demand side management culture. El artículo invita a reflexionar sobre la teoría de manejo de la demanda eléctrica como una alternativa para mejorar la sostenibilidad del sistema eléctrico nacional y avanzar en la discusión del modelo eléctrico. La sostenibilidad del futuro energético apunta a la integración de redes inteligentes, generación distribuida, alta penetración de energías renovables no convencionales y tecnologías eficientes. El artículo propone el manejo de la demanda eléctrica como la base de una política pública a largo plazo que apoye e integre las estrategias antes mencionadas. A lo largo del artículo se reconoce la vulnerabilidad del sistema eléctrico nacional, se explica el marco conceptual del manejo de la demanda eléctrica, las ventajas y obstáculos para su implementación, así como una serie de acciones claves para facilitar el desarrollo de una cultura alineada con el manejo de la demanda eléctrica.
