  • Commercial & Industrial Load Control

    Optimize energy use in factories and data centers

Overview

Engage high-demand commercial and industrial facilities in utility programs by integrating with existing building management systems or deploying gateway devices. Offer a mix of behavior-based notifications and fully automated controls to suit operational requirements.

Key Features

    • Factory & Data Center Connectivity: Communicate directly with PLCs, SCADA, or building management systems for precise load visibility.
    • Gateway Deployment: Install edge devices to enable participation where legacy systems lack native integration.

    • Behavioral Programs: Send targeted alerts and incentives to facility managers for manual load reductions.

    • Automated Control: Execute real-time curtailment of process loads, HVAC, or non-critical equipment with minimal human intervention.

    • Custom Event Strategies: Define tailored triggers, thresholds, and recovery sequences to match C&I operational profiles.


Benefits

    • Maximized Participation: Unlock flexible loads in large facilities for significant demand reduction.
    • Operational Assurance: Maintain production schedules and service-level agreements with configurable control options.

    • Scalable Solution: Expand across multiple sites and asset types with standardized integration.


How it works

    • Site Assessment: Identify candidate loads and determine integration approach (BMS vs. gateway).
    • Onboarding & Configuration: Connect assets, set up control logic, and define event parameters.

    • Program Activation: Roll out behavioral alerts and/or automated dispatch based on grid signals.

    • Real-Time Monitoring: Track facility response and adjust commands as needed.

    • Verification & Reporting: Measure actual load relief and generate compliance-ready reports.
