With more than 70 percent of electricity coming from renewable sources, New Zealand’s electrical grid is one of the lowest-carbon systems in the world. Still, balancing supply and demand on the grid is a constant challenge, especially with variability in renewable power and spikes in consumer energy usage. Imbalances that threaten the grid's overall reliability and can drive up electricity prices for energy users. Through various demand-side initiatives such as Demand Response (DR), sometimes referred to as Demand-Side Management (DSM), businesses across the country are able to help stabilise the grid by reducing energy use during periods of peak demand.
EnerNOC has one of the largest networks of dispatchable demand in New Zealand, enabling businesses like yours (also called demand-side participants) to respond almost instantaneously to variances on the grid and provide energy reductions to the New Zealand Electricity Market. As part of EnerNOC’s DemandSMART demand response network, companies are paid just to participate, and are paid again each time they are asked to reduce.
With EnerNOC's DemandSMART, New Zealand's businesses are earning payments and contributing to a more reliable clean energy future. Interested?
