Demand Response programs allow customers to actively participate in managing energy usage, and save or earn money, while also supporting the overall grid reliability.

By enrolling in a Demand Response program, customers can make a difference by adjusting electricity consumption during high-demand periods when the grid is stressed.

 

Benefits of Demand Response:

• Financial Savings: Participating in Demand Response programs can lead to savings on your energy bills. By reducing your energy usage during peak demand periods, you can avoid higher rates and potentially earn incentives or credits.
• Environmental Impact: By voluntarily reducing your energy consumption during peak periods, you contribute to a more sustainable and greener energy future. This helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
• Grid Reliability: Demand Response programs play a crucial role in maintaining a stable and reliable electricity grid. By collectively reducing demand during high-demand periods, we can prevent grid stress and minimize the risk of blackouts or disruptions.
• Community Support: By participating in Demand Response, you join a community of individuals actively working towards a more efficient and resilient energy system. Your involvement contributes to the overall well-being of our community by ensuring a reliable supply of electricity for everyone.
