Demand Response (DR) provides commercial, institutional, residential and industrial consumers in Ontario with a no-risk, no-cost opportunity to earn money by optimizing how they consume energy.
The program is administered by the IESO through Aggregators like Edgecom Energy. Participants receive payments for being available to reduce their load and receive an additional payment when they are called upon to actually reduce their load.
Demand Response Accurate Alerts will notify all team members to optimize curtailment efforts.
The IESO has the goal of balancing the Ontario electricity supply between generators and consumers. The DR Capacity Auction allows the IESO to call upon consumers to reduce their loads during times of stress or high costs instead of asking (usually fossil fuel powered) generators to increase their output.
This leads to improved flexibility, reduced emissions and higher efficiencies for the electricity system. Consumers who aggregate their curtailment kW and participate in DR with Edgecom Energy receive higher payments and the full suite of Edgecom applications through our portal.
Real time energy monitoring solutions track curtailment efforts to optimize energy savings.
These solutions allow meters downstream to have better visibility of operations.
