Demand response (DR) programs can earn your business compensation by reducing energy consumption during certain times of grid stress (either through lower rates or bill credits).
Selecting a demand response program during the energy procurement process can also encourage suppliers to offer cheaper energy prices.
Amerex can help you navigate and assess the viability of such programs, negotiate favorable terms on your behalf and identify any impacts on your retail supply contracts.
We are in a favorable position to assist in DR provider selection, with process design internal to SWA and in coordination with the underlying supply contract. Keys to a successful DR engagement include:
(a) a well-planned process for execution of a DR deployment order,
(b) contract provisions resulting in a favorable revenue split between SWA and the DR provider, and
(c) an analysis of the equipment, controls, and associated costs necessary for implementation. The procurement phase is an optimum time to incorporate a DR program, as many suppliers will reduce their energy prices if they can achieve a DR contract.
We will also advise SWA of Four Coincident Peak (4CP) days in ERCOT and Five Coincident Peak (5CP) days in PJM for each location to execute its plan to reduce operations, where possible. These Coincident Peaks relate to the 15-minute intervals in which total electric usage is at its greatest across the specific energy grid. Each facility’s contribution to the demand during these peaks will determine the amount the local Transmission Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) charges during the subsequent calendar year. If the facility can reduce its peak demand during a 4CP or 5CP event, it will reduce its TDSP charges.
Highlights
- Understand demand response opportunities from regional ISOs, local utilities, and Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs)
- Determine your eligibility and structure your program. An all-or-nothing approach is not always necessary
- Access a range of non-traditional demand response programs, including local utility-run load management programs and voluntary peak response programs
- Assist in your demand response provider selection, including process design and coordination with the underlying supply contract
