What is Demand Response?
Demand Response is an energy-saving program where businesses are rewarded for using less power during periods of high electricity demand. By voluntarily shifting or reducing electricity consumption at critical times, you not only help stabilise the grid but also receive financial compensation for your efforts. This program is a smart way for large businesses to cut costs while playing a key role in energy management.
How can large customers benefit?
By participating in Demand Response, large businesses can:
- Reduce energy costs: access financial incentives for lowering energy consumption during peak periods when electricity prices are at their highest.
- Enhance sustainability efforts: contribute to the reduction of energy demand during critical times, potentially helping lower overall carbon emissions.
- Increase operational flexibility: make use of automated systems or manual adjustments to reduce consumption, ensuring your operations run efficiently while capitalising on energy savings.
Which assets can participate?
Almost any large load asset in your operation can be part of the SEC Demand Response program, including:
- onsite generation and storage, such as rooftop solar or batteries
- industrial process equipment, such as pumps, fans and aerators
- heating, ventilation and cooling systems, including water heat pumps, electric heaters and chillers
- cold storage and refrigeration
