Demand Response

Managing when your facility uses energy can yield significant financial benefits through a Demand Response program. Get paid to reduce your facilities’ electricity demand at key times.

Offset Your Business' Energy Costs

Demand curtailment measures don’t need to be complex or significant. Turning off lights and raising air conditioning temperatures could be all you need to do. For greater impact and potential savings, you could have a more sophisticated approach with real-time adjustments to production processes or utilization of your on-site generator.

 

3 Key Benefits of a Demand Response Program

New Revenue Stream

Perhaps the biggest benefit to your organization is the financial one. System operators and utilities will provide financial incentives when you reduce or shift your demand away from the times when the overall demand for energy is high so that the stress on the overall utility grid is reduced. There are many different types of demand response programs, some voluntary and some requiring a firm commitment when called upon, with different incentive amounts.
 

Power Reliability

Reducing demand improves the reliability of the grid. Less demand means less stress on energy transmission and distribution systems, which makes them less likely to fail.
 

Lower Electricity Prices

Reducing electricity when demand is highest often results in lower index prices. As demand for power decreases, less efficient and often more expensive forms of electricity generation are not needed, which helps keep energy costs in check.

Our Process

 

Energy Reduction

We work with you to identify where you can reduce energy while maintaining business operations.

Program Evaluation

We evaluate demand response programs available based on your location and facility requirements and enroll you in a plan that maximizes your payout and keeps any risk to a minimum.

Event Notifications

When a demand response event is called, you will receive a notification to reduce usage during a certain period of time (typically a two-hour window).

Compensation for Reduced Demand

You will be paid for reducing your demand for energy and perhaps even the energy you did not use based on your program’s specifications.
