Load Management / Demand Response

Improve Your Bottom Line with Load Management!  Reducing peak demands and/or flattening your load curve can reduce costs and save your organization money.  Whether reducing generation or transmission demand charges or reducing resource capacity costs, load management (LM) can engage consumers and reduce electricity bills all at the same time.

Load management portfolios can include aspects of pricing, technology, and consumer behavior. Designing optimal portfolios that account for possible peak shifting, diminishing returns, rebound impacts, and LM group layering are essential to getting the maximum cost savings from the program.  Clearspring Energy Advisors has extensive experience designing, evaluating, and dispatching cost-effective LM programs for utilities nationwide.

Clearspring evaluates the business case, provides recommendations on portfolio designs, provides group layering strategies, and also can assist you in real-time dispatching of your LM programs. 

Why is Competitive Intelligence Critical to Your Success? Competitive intelligence enhances your competitive position by providing a better understanding of your competitors and the market in which you operate.  It provides a solid foundation for strategic planning, power market assessments, risk management, regulatory initiatives, and customer relations management.

Clearspring’s staff helped a utility with an existing LM portfolio that was curious if the portfolio could be improved upon by expanding, subtracting, or better dispatching their LM programs.  Our staff ran the business case on several portfolio options and LM dispatch scenarios and provided recommendations on the optimal LM portfolio and dispatch strategy.
