Demand Response
Solutions for Demand
Response
In case of peak consumption, Demand
Response are the mechanisms used
by electricity operators and suppliers
to encourage their consumers to: reduce
electricity demand by disconnecting loads
or increase electricity supply by starting
back-up private generation systems.

Your key applications

Occasional storms and heat waves, as well as periodic shut down for maintenance can affect the supply/demand
for electricity. When demand is high and supply is short, the price of kWh can be multiplied by more than 10.
In this critical context, it is essential to lower the demand on one side (Demand) to be able to respond for peak
demand periods on the other side (Response).
Moreover, Demand Response solutions allow much more efficient use of generation and T&D network capacity.
It helps protecting the environment avoiding start up of huge CO2 emitters like gas, coal or oil generation units.

Main benefits of Schneider Electric solution

@@ Identify the best Demand Response programs to optimize your energy savings.
@@ Customized Demand Response services to reach up to 25% annual energy cost
reduction.
@@ Comprehensive offer providing energy meters and software tool for control, metering
and data management.
