The grid is paying record prices for flexibility. We find how much your facility can ease off when the grid is short, match you to the right program and get you paid.
What the grid pays for capacity in PJM, the market covering Ohio, Kentucky and 11 other states, is up 11 times since 2024.
$ per MW-day. The latest auction cleared at the federal price cap for the third time in a row and came up 6,831 MW short. PJM estimates $555 without the cap.
On the hottest and coldest days, the grid runs short of power. Demand response programs pay businesses to be ready to ease off when that happens.
You agree to reduce your load for a few hours when the grid calls. In return, you're paid for that commitment, from the same capacity price that has been raising everyone's bills.
Your bills and operations show how much power you could ease off at peak without hurting production.
Programs differ in how often they call, how much notice they give and how they pay. We find the one that fits how you run.
We take care of the paperwork and the setup so you can start earning.
You're paid for committing your flexibility to the grid. You decide what you reduce and how.
The next step is storage: batteries behind the meter that charge when power is cheap and earn from the grid when it's short. We think every large plant will have one. Until then, demand response lets you start earning from the grid today.
You decide what to reduce and how. The right program fits around how your plant runs, and production comes first.
Usually only a handful of times a year, on days when demand peaks. Programs differ, which is why we match you to the one that fits.
It works best for facilities with large monthly power bills. Send one month of bills and we'll tell you whether it's worth it.
Demand response is paid from the same capacity price that raised your bills. The same flexibility can also lower your share of capacity costs.
