Demand Response
Adjust electricity usage patterns for economic benefit
Demand response programs shift electric consumption patterns to take advantage of lower energy rates based on the time of day or to receive incentive payments designed to lower electricity use when electric system reliability is at risk.
Load Shifting & Economic Demand Response (EDR)
EDR programs use monitoring and control devices to better manage what your business takes from the grid during expensive high demand and high energy use periods. With EDR, businesses can save money by using less energy or shifting electric load during high demand and high cost periods.
Fact Check
Coordinating demand response strategy with energy efficiency multiplies the reduction in electricity usage and lowers costs.

Fact Check
Receive quarterly payments if your company can reduce electricity usage as requested by your utility to ensure system reliability.
