Demand response

Earn payments for reducing energy consumption through demand response programs, while supporting grid flexibility and reliability.

What Is Demand Response?

Demand response programs pay you for your energy flexibility

With most commodities, value is determined by two key factors: price and quantity. But when it comes to energy, a third component – time – plays a big role. When facilities use energy is just as important as the price they pay for it and how much they use. Ultimately, a facility’s ability to be flexible about when they use energy represents both a value and a cost.

Utility and grid-sponsored demand response programs allow organizations to monetize that flexibility. Demand response provides payments to large energy consumers that agree to reduce their energy demand during times of electricity grid stress to help the grid remain in balance and avoid blackouts – a win-win for both organizations looking to boost their bottom line, and the communities they serve.
