EnergyConnect’s leading-edge solutions enable its participants to reduce electricity usage during periods characterized by high demand, supply shortfalls or high wholesale prices through Energy Automation, proactively shifting non-critical electrical loads, utilizing standby generators, and significantly enhancing the value and performance of energy storage. Importantly, these solutions are realized largely without significant capital expenditures to modify the physical plant of a participant’s facility. The majority of facilities (such as educational campuses, high-rise office buildings, large commercial buildings, industrial plants, and shopping centers) already have the potential to realize economic benefit from the energy used in the building every day.
Unlike traditional Demand Response, EnergyConnect doesn’t just save its participants money by reducing use when energy prices may be high. Instead, EnergyConnect actually creates a new source of revenue for organizations that enlist EnergyAutomation services such as:
- Economic Demand Response Services where participants are paid for managing and altering electricity usage in response to the price of electricity in the day-ahead and real-time electricity markets.
- Reliability Demand Response Services where participants are paid for managing and altering electricity usage in response to system events and conditions where the electricity grid is strained. This includes both traditional Reliability Demand Response Services as well as Standby Reserve Services.
- Intelligent automation systems to streamline operations while enabling participants to maximize the revenue potential with demand response.
- Energy audit services to identify opportunities to maximize participant’s performance and returns.
Not only does EnergyConnect Turn Energy Into Cash, we make it easy for participants to do so. With comprehensive reporting tools and streamlined communication and accounting processes, EnergyConnect allows its participants, partners and affiliates to engage a large portfolio of progressive solutions that harness energy consumption for economic gain.
