Demand response programs are just hosts outsourcing their risk to you

So the real answer is: if you want to avoid DR, use a host with no facility in a subsidized DR region, or pay the premium for the DR-free tier if it happens. HostHatch in Zurich. AWS in certain regions with dedicated hosts. Your own colo with a no-DR power contract.

This thread answered the question in the first three replies and then kept going because the implications are depressing.

Same here. Running my own monitoring now because of this thread. Thanks FlowSana.

New here—does this apply to storage VPS too or just compute? I have a HostHatch storage VPS in Singapore.

Already covered. Section 14.3 says "all services in participating facilities." Storage VPS is a service. Singapore is SP Power, which runs demand response. So yes.

Read the thread.
