load management
Controlled workload distribution
Load management is the strategic control of electrical demand to balance power consumption with available supply.
Utilities may shift usage to off-peak hours, temporarily reduce service, or cycle equipment to prevent grid overload.
The term extends to any deliberate pacing of demand on a system: in professional sports, load management means resting healthy players to preserve them for more important games.
