How It Works

Step 1: Free Asset & Revenue Assessment

  • We start with a no-cost, no-obligation review of your facility.
  • We analyze existing assets such as generators, HVAC, batteries, solar, and flexible loads.
  • We evaluate operating constraints to ensure zero impact on your business.
  • We identify applicable grid programs and market opportunities.
  • You receive a clear estimate of potential annual revenue.
     

Step 2: Enroll and Connect Your Assets

  • We handle all program enrollment, paperwork, and market registration.
  • A secure data gateway connects to your existing energy systems.
  • No major hardware upgrades or infrastructure changes are required.
  • All communications are encrypted and read-only unless explicitly approved. 
  • Installation and setup are coordinated to minimize disruption.

Step 3: Participate in Grid Programs

  • Your assets are enrolled in demand response, capacity, or flexibility programs.
  • Participation occurs only during rare periods of grid stress.
  • Events are scheduled with advance notice — hours or days ahead.
  • Dispatch is automated and operates strictly within pre-approved limits.
  • Grid Avec manages real-time coordination with grid operators and market platforms.

Step 4: Get Paid for Flexibility

  • You earn revenue simply for being available to support the grid.
  • Additional payments are earned when assets perform during events.
  • Payments are based on market participation, not utility rebates. 
  • Revenue is paid directly to you through checks or bill credits.
  • Transparent reporting shows performance, events, and earnings.

Built Around Your Operations

 

Your participation is designed around how your business already operates — not the other way around.

 You define the operating limits, comfort bands, and participation rules before anything begins. Assets are only dispatched within those pre-approved parameters, ensuring there is no impact on tenants, customers, or employees. 

 You maintain full visibility and control throughout the process and can opt out of events when business conditions require it. Your core operations always come first. 

What You Don’t Have to Worry About

 

Grid Avec manages all of the complexity behind the scenes.

We handle market participation, regulatory compliance, event coordination, performance tracking, and reporting. There’s no need to monitor grid conditions, interpret market rules, or manually manage energy assets during events.

You get the benefit of market participation and new revenue — without the operational burden.
