Get Paid For Energy Flexibility — Without Disruption

What Is Demand Response?

How Businesses Participate

What Is Demand Response?

  •  Demand Response programs pay businesses to temporarily reduce or shift electricity usage during periods of high grid demand.
  • These events occur only a few times per year and are planned in advance. Instead of building new power plants for peak demand, grid operators compensate businesses that can provide flexibility when it’s needed most.

How You Get Paid

Built Around Your Operations

How Businesses Participate

 Businesses earn revenue in two ways:


Availability Payments
Paid for being “on call” and ready to respond.


Performance Payments
Paid when you successfully reduce energy use during events.


This is revenue for providing a service — not a utility rebate.

 Demand Response is designed to fit within your existing operations.


You define how and when your facility can participate, and all activity stays within pre-approved limits. Events are infrequent, short in duration, and planned in advance. You maintain full control and can opt out when necessary.
