What is Demand Response?
Demand Response is an important tool in the energy transition where businesses temporarily reduce energy consumption to support the grid in return for regular payments. It is usually called on during peak demand periods or when the grid is under stress, helping to support grid resilience and firm renewables.
Businesses either power down or switch to a backup power source to give capacity back to the grid via our leading Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which participates in Taiwan Power Company’s (TPC) Energy Trading Platform.
