Negawatt power is a term coined and introduced by Amory Lovins in a 1989 speech. A negawatt is a concept related to power and electrical generating capacity. A similar concept applies to energy, with potential consumers being rewarded for lowering consumption at any time, rather than just at peak times: this could then be labeled negajoules or negawatt-hours. Source: Wikipedia It'sa term related to electricity consumption, but it's not a measurement.It mean to conserve electricity by reducing or limiting your electric power usage at peak hours or loads -meaning the most electrical usage everyone consumes reaches a high - like in the summer, air conditioners running at the hottest part of the day puts a load on the electrical usage. I used to work at an Electric Utility company and customers had an option for a "time of use" rate. I could go on more, but it gets complicated.
