Load Management - Demand Response Programs
Demand Response (DR) is being embraced worldwide as an effective way of lowering the wholesale cost of power and reducing the need to build additional capacity. In some cases, it’s even possible for DR to become a source of new revenue for participating organizations. For those organizations looking to proactively manage their electricity consumption and costs, participating in a demand response program might make perfect sense.

During those occasional hot summer days when the demand for electricity is at its highest and central air conditioners (CACs) are running at their maximum, they can strain Ontario's electricity system. You can do your part to help the province manage this peak demand by enrolling in peaksaver®. Your participating electric utility will install the necessary device (either a thermostat or switch) enabling your CAC to receive a signal that will automatically cycle it down for short periods of time. It will happen only on the hottest weekdays during the middle of the day. Chances are you will not even notice the 1°C - 2°C change in your business' temperature.
