Load management, a Common card
Load management, also known as demand-side management, is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load by adjusting or controlling the load rather than the power station output.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This can be achieved by direct intervention of the utility in real time, by the use of frequency sensitive relays triggering the circuit breakers, by time clocks, or by using special tariffs to influence consumer behavior.
- Load management allows utilities to reduce demand for electricity during peak usage times, which can, in turn, reduce costs by eliminating the need for peaking power plants.
- In addition, some peaking power plants can take more than an hour to bring on-line which makes load management even more critical should a plant go off-line unexpectedly for example.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Load management article was read about 6,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 52: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
How to get Load management
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
