Demand Response
Participate in DEMAND RESPONSE and receive FINANCIAL INCENTIVES to reduce load on the grid.
Demand response is a simple solution to address a complex issue, but as anyone who's investigated it further - actually can be quite challenging to practically and seamlessly integrate into your organisation. You will need clear onsite procedures and contracts for payment - often with the additional requirements of network connection approvals and modifications to existing infrastructure. Not to mention an accurate cost benefit analysis and reliable partners to take you through the process.
With the sophistication and practical experience to provide you with an end-to-end solution, Clean Technology Partners can help you seamlessly unlock the value of your back up generator.
HOW CTP CAN HELP
Clean Technology Partners can provide a solution package for our clients. The end to end solution includes:
- Feasibility study (cost-benefit analysis)
- Network Connection Application for generator operating in parallel with the grid
- Run Operational Test
- Detailed design, onsite modifications to existing infrastructure
- Integration of your generator to maximise benefit and a contract for demand response payments based on your site and generator characteristics*
