When demand for electricity spikes, it’s up to everyone to ensure the grid is not overtaxed. Participating in a utility demand response program such as the one provided by PowerSecure means your facility can avoid putting excess strain on the infrastructure and be paid for it. Our energy demand response services keep a close eye on your usage and make it easy to gear down during times of peak usage. We help you ensure that your commercial or industrial property is contributing to peak load management across the entire power grid to help avoid brownouts, excessive emissions and wasted resources.
What is Energy Demand Management?
Energy Demand Management is a strategic approach to controlling and optimizing energy consumption, especially during peak demand periods. This involves analyzing and adjusting energy usage patterns to balance the load on the electrical grid, thereby preventing overburdening the infrastructure.
By employing techniques such as real-time energy monitoring, demand forecasting, and implementing energy-efficient practices, businesses can significantly reduce their energy consumption—which not only aids in alleviating stress on the power grid but also contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability. Energy Demand Management is becoming increasingly essential in today’s world, where energy efficiency and resource conservation are paramount.
How Energy Demand Management Works
When you work with us for industrial or commercial demand response, you receive a complete solution for reducing the burden you place on your local electrical utilities. Our energy monitoring services watch your usage and use peak demand forecasting to predict when usage will be at its highest. We will let you know when it’s time to implement your action plan for reducing your consumption. From there, you can take advantage of our distributed energy solutions — including microgrids and energy storage — to meet your power needs without putting additional stress on the main grid.
Participating in this initiative means you will become a more responsible steward of resources overall. In addition, you also will enjoy other benefits including:
- Financial flexibility: Reducing your utility usage means lower energy costs, and reimbursement for what you don’t use provides you with a new revenue stream.
- Greater sustainability: Supplementing your facilities with cleaner energy and managing your dependence on the main grid helps your company meet its sustainability goals.
- Energy stability: Participating in a utility demand response program helps ease the burden on the power infrastructure where you are, leading to more reliability and fewer outages or brownouts for your entire community.
