Utilities

Since 2014, CPower has helped many North American utilities successfully manage and facilitate demand response programs in regulated and deregulated markets. 

Public utilities face a continuous challenge to balance resources, the regulatory climate, consumer needs, the needs of the grid, and increasing market complexity. As the energy markets enter into a new era of fossil generation reduction, renewable proliferation, and consumer choice, the burden of developing, implementing, and managing incentive-based demand response (DR) programs that offset the carbon footprint and high energy costs sits more frequently, and squarely, on the shoulders of utilities. While these DR programs fulfill a singular and vitally important purpose, it is difficult to operationalize a demand management program successfully while simultaneously addressing the litany of competing priorities.
