Energy management firms specialize in identifying energy savings strategies, including those that shave energy use during peak periods, when energy costs the most to generate. A peak demand strategy, or demand response program, is one under which a utility company offers a customer a reduced rate on energy usage in exchange for a reduction in consumption during peak hours.
Partnering with an energy management firm for the purpose of implementing a peak demand strategy is beneficial on multiple fronts: it allows the business to reduce consumption and costs while also increasing the efficiency and reliability of the grid for others.
