What is demand response?
Demand response provides a no-risk, no-cost opportunity for commercial, institutional, and industrial organizations in New York to earn money and drive energy savings through grid operator and utility-sponsored DR programs.

Program participants receive recurring capacity payments for agreeing to curtail electricity consumptionin response to abnormally high electricity demand and additional energy payments based on their performance during dispatches. Enel X manages your participation from start to finish helping ensure that you receive the highest possible financial rewards.

- 2. We may install necessary metering devices at your facility to establish communication with our Network Operations Center (NOC), so we can monitor your energy consumption levels in real-time.
- 3. Your site is then enrolled and ready to respond if and when a dispatch begins. At any time during a dispatch, you can log in to view your performance in real-time at apps.enelx.com. Throughout the process, we fully manage enrollment, measurement, verification, and payments on your behalf.

What can I expect during a dispatch?
Notification: When your local utility or grid operator anticipates the need for support, it dispatches the Enel X network into action. Enel X will notify you via email, phone, or SMS informing you when the dispatch will begin.
Response: At the start of the dispatch, your facility will reduce its electricity usage according to your pre- determined Energy Reduction Plan—either manually, or automatically through the NOC.
Support: Before, during, and after a dispatch, the NOC remains in communication with your facility. Our staff is available 24x7x365, supporting you to ensure that you achieve the highest possible levels of performance and payments.
