Asset-backed demand response enables organizations to access backup on-site power generation and storage assets and use them to participate in demand response programs to generate revenue, fund new assets, or fund Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs on those assets. Protect your operations against grid instability with on-site generation to reduce the impact of power outages and mitigate risks – such as downtime and product loss – without upfront capital by funding your assets through demand response program participation.
Demand response services provided by demand response companies like Centrica Business Solutions can help your organization leverage your Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for market participation to eliminate disruption in your business during events. Our leading technology can help you gain even more value from your demand response program.
Fund backup generation assets with Demand Response
Use your earned revenue from Demand Response participation to upgrade your existing generator, purchase a new generator, or fund O&M costs on your generator.
Build energy resilience
You need to keep your organization running 24/7 – and generators protect your organization's critical power needs by providing energy resilience in the event of grid outages.
Generate revenue
When not in use for resilience, generators can be run to support Demand Response so that you can participate in events without disruption to your operations.
Fund associated investment costs
Use your revenue from Demand Response participation to fund an upgrade to your existing generator, fund a new generator, or fund the required O&M plan for a generator.
Maximize generator exercising
Schedule your generator exercises alongside Demand Response tests and events whenever possible – to simultaneously ensure your equipment is running as expected and earn revenue.
