Describes the half of the economic equation related to supplying products or services. Supply-side activities include the activities of producers, wholesalers and distributors oriented to producing and delivering a commodity. In the energy industry, anything occurring in the energy delivery chain outside of the customer's meter is considered supply-side.

Supply-side is occasionally used as an abbreviation for supply-side economics, but the term refers to everything on the supply side of the equation, not just the economics of supply.
