Case Study: Wholesale Bakery cuts energy costs and boosts DR payments with Enel X

Align Your Supply- and Demand-Side Strategies with Enel X’s Energy Procurement and Demand Response Services

Wholesale Bakery partnered with Enel X to address high demand charges and reduce energy costs while minimizing disruption to operations. As a wholesale bakery with flexible loads, the company needed a smarter demand management approach that could also improve revenue opportunities through demand response.

Enel X designed and managed a combined demand response and energy supply management strategy for the bakery, including peak shaving and operational adjustments such as raising air conditioning temperatures, reducing lighting in freezers and unoccupied areas, and shutting down non-essential loads. With Enel X’s support, the bakery cut its annual supply bills by 14%, avoided nearly $200,000 in capacity charges, and increased its demand response enrollment to earn up to $20,000 in additional annual DR payments.
