Demand Response is a great standalone product all on its own. It helps you earn money, lowers your electricity costs, and even stabilizes our electric power grid when it's strained by extremely high usage.
Aside from the financial benefits, the environmental benefits make Demand Response an even greener option: Nothing is greener than reducing energy consumption during high electricity usage periods.
A great way to maximize the benefits of your new Demand Response program is to add battery energy storage.
Why Battery Energy Storage?
Battery energy storage can collect energy from the grid or another power source, like solar energy, for later use. When you own a distributed generation system, i.e., our Connected Microgrid solution, battery energy storage optimizes the use of the solar energy it stores, making your business a power source for its own supply, even when you have significant electricity requirements after sunset. The energy is discharged from the battery system during peak hours—or when you need it most—and can be used directly. It’s efficient energy use at its finest!
Equipped with your own on-site generation, battery energy storage serves as a backup when your Demand Response curtailment event is active. You’ll be able to run your business as usual and with Catalyst Power as your aggregator. We can also work with you to test your curtailment efforts and monitor the exact level of load reduction your business produces.
Better for Your Bottom Line
Catalyst Power’s battery energy storage program forms a complementary intersection with Demand Response which fills your pockets and protects your business. We offer a layered approach to every energy decision you need. Whether you choose Demand Response for the financial increase, battery energy storage for lower electricity rates, or both, your business will be in a great position to flourish in the future. Make your business a local asset this year and contact one of our Energy Experts today about your options.
