Demand Response Programs Reward What Matters
Demand response programs offer utility customers incentives to reduce their energy use during peak hours when grid stress is high or in the event of a power emergency. Managing energy consumption when it’s most critical can help prevent power surges, outages and blackouts. An effective method for helping balance loads and strain on the grid, demand response programs allow utility customers to play a key role in creating a more sustainable, energy-efficient future. And, increased customer participation in demand response programs can help you reach your lower emissions and energy reduction goals faster and more effectively.
Honeywell DemandSites™ is a distributed energy resource platform that helps you strengthen your demand response programs for more efficient energy management and better customer engagement. This scalable smart grid solution gives utility customers the power to change their energy consumption habits in exchange for financial incentives, lower electric bills and less chance of grid overload.
