Demand Response Case Study: Steel Manufacturer
Learn how Voltus’s demand response services helped this steel manufacturer earn revenue.
Demand response for Michigan businesses
If you’re a corporate or industrial energy user in Michigan, you can get paid to support your community through a program called demand response.
What is demand response?
Demand response is a program that pays businesses to use less energy when the electric grid is stressed – like during very hot or cold weather – to help prevent electricity blackouts. Energy users participate in demand response by:
- Conserving energy by, for example, turning down HVAC use or pausing select operations to conduct maintenance
- Shifting energy use to qualified backup generators
- Shifting energy use to energy storage
Why do businesses participate?
