When the grid needs a breather, so does your bill
What Is Demand Response?
Demand response programs reward businesses and property owners for reducing electricity usage during periods of high demand on the grid. Instead of running full load when the system is stressed, participants temporarily scale back consumption—or shift usage to off-peak hours—helping keep the grid stable and reliable. In return, utilities and grid operators provide financial incentives and credits.
Why Demand Response Matters
Grid reliability is becoming more critical than ever as extreme weather, population growth, and new technologies place added strain on energy systems. Demand response not only lowers costs for participants, it also helps prevent blackouts, reduces the need for expensive peaker plants, and supports a cleaner, more sustainable grid. For owners, managers, and developers, it’s a way to align financial savings with corporate sustainability goals.
