Why Demand Response Matters
Save Money & Generate Revenue
By participating in Demand Response, your organization can receive immediate financial incentives, lower utility bills, and even generate extra revenue, just by reducing energy use when the grid needs it most.
Assist Grid Reliability
Demand Response helps balance supply and demand, reducing the chance of blackouts or brownouts. You're not just saving money; you're contributing to a more resilient energy system that benefits your community and business operations.
Eco-Friendly Impact
Less peak-time energy demand means fewer emissions from peaker plants. By joining a Demand Response program, you actively support cleaner energy and the integration of renewables, without sacrificing operations or comfort.
Infrastructure Benefits
When enough participants lower their demand, utilities can defer costly upgrades to power plants and transmission lines, meaning long-term savings for everyone on the grid and more efficient use of existing resources.
