Demand Response (DR) is used globally as a cost-effective way to maintain grid reliability and security. Energy users including businesses, government agencies and households can participate by lowering their electricity consumption – either through reducing demand or switching on an onsite generator – in response to an incentive or signal.
Our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is the largest in Australia (BNEF) and is made up of organisations’ distributed energy resources (onsite equipment, backup generation and battery energy storage systems), that reduce energy usage in response to conditions of electricity grid stress. We manage the end-to-end process for our clients, and always ensure participation suits your operational needs. Program participants earn regular payments, enhance resilience and support the grid and local community by helping to keep the lights on.
