# avoid

A category for electricity usage during periods that the framework suggests a person avoid.

```
var avoid: Measure?
```

## Discussion

The framework might put electricity usage in this category when:

- Grid operators ask electricity consumers to temporarily reduce their power usage during periods of high demand or grid stress, also known as a *demand response* event.
- Fossil fuel plants predominantly power the grid, composing the least desirable times for energy consumption from an environmental perspective.

> Important: The framework reserves this property for future use.
