CPS Energy’s demand response program is part of the utility’s Save for Tomorrow Energy Plan, which has a goal to reduce growth in demand by 771MW by 2020.
Servidyne said it will commence work this month by performing initial on-site energy audits at customer facilities to identify and prioritize available demand response opportunities.
During the demand response season (June 1 to September 30), each participating CPS Energy customer will be compensated for modifying usage of energy-consuming building assets during peak energy events, when called upon by the utility to temporarily reduce electric consumption.
Servidyne said its Fifth Fuel Management team will partner with CPS Energy’s account executives and program managers to implement the demand response program. The Fifth Fuel Management system is designed to provide technology-enabled real-time demand response capabilities to operators of large buildings, like office towers, manufacturing facilities and hospitals.
