ADVICE

Monetize Flexibility Through Market Participation

  • Participate in ancillary services and energy price programs to earn revenue and reduce net energy costs.
  • Use automated triggers to curtail non-essential load when prices or grid emergency signals reach customer thresholds.
ADVICE

Engineer Your Loads Before Curtailing

  • Assess operations with engineers to identify critical versus non-critical loads and quantify interruption cost.
  • Turn down or temporarily switch off marginal loads (e.g., refrigeration buffers) to capture marketplace value without harming operations.
INSIGHT

Energy Will Require Active Decisions

  • The era of taking energy for granted is ending; customers must become proactive energy participants.
  • Firms will choose when to buy, use, or generate energy and must manage those decisions actively.
