Demand Response
Get Paid, Use Less, Protect the Grid and the Environment
Your flexibility and willingness to adjust your operations has value to the grid. The most obvious benefit of participating in demand response (DR) with is the payments you receive in exchange for that flexibility….but financial benefits of DR are just the beginning.
Tools to Maximize Dispatch Performance
Advanced PC based dashboards will show you how your facility is tracking towards its energy reduction targets during a DR dispatch. This valuable tool helps ensure that you are maximizing your DR earnings potential by consistently delivering against your committed reduction.
Real-Time Visibility to Drive Savings Year Round
In most regions, DR dispatches are infrequent, but with the right solution, your organization can benefit 24/7/365. Technology is available to provide full-range of energy profiling tools that help you reduce your overall energy costs by up to 30% and more proactively manage your energy consumption. The following benefits are worth considering for your operation:
- Get an alarm on your phone or in your inbox before your energy usage hits a peak
- Lower base load and shave energy usage outside of operating hours
- Track your energy use in intuitive dashboards
- Use reports and savings visualizations to show progress against goals
- Get advanced notice of a potential blackout
- Benchmark your consumption against custom targets, historical performance, similar buildings or specific production levels
- Consolidate your data in a unified platform available from anywhere in the world
- Shadow your utility bill and mitigate billing overcharges
- Use load curves and power factor data to empower smarter buying decisions
Get Paid for Being Green
Being environmentally responsible often comes with a price tag. The fact that you actually get paid for being being green is one of the most attractive options for delivering a clean energy future.
There are many green benefits associated with being part of a DR network. As part of a virtual power plant, you are helping to decrease reliance on fossil-fuel burning power plants. In addition, DR supports the clean integration of renewable resources into the supply mix. Because the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow, grid operators need to offset intermittency with additional power sources – DR is increasingly being leveraged to support larger renewable portfolios.
