For example, the United States is the first country to propose and implement a demand-side response, and its theoretical research and implementation represent the international frontier. France has outstanding representation in the formulation of legislation and guarantee mechanisms that respond to demand. After Japan’s Fukushima incident, the demand side response plan was significantly accelerated. This article focuses on the status quo and main content of the implementation of demand response in the United States, France, Japan, and other countries.
