SOLUTION
Demand Response

Helping utilities balance
energy supply and demand

What is demand response? Demand response (DR) is defined as a measurable change in energy demand by customers in response to a curtailment notice. Demand response assists utilities with balancing energy supply and demand.

A demand response programme can quickly remove load off the electricity network during peak demand or emergency periods, when it is needed most.

We've been providing comprehensive demand response products and services to Eskom, the largest utility in Africa, for over a decade. We have extensive knowledge and understanding of all aspects of Demand Side Management, including time-of-use tariff design and implementation, critical peak day pricing, energy efficiency, and demand response. Our demand response services and solutions have proven to be a reliable alternative to the provision of generation reserves in Southern Africa since 2007. Our DRPro Demand Response Management platform is used daily by the South African system operator to balance supply and demand, and manage network frequency.
