Case Study: United Cast Bar achieves lower energy costs and reduced carbon footprint with GridBeyond

How United Cast Bar are pioneering new energy frontiers in the metals industry

United Cast Bar, a leading manufacturer of continuously cast-iron bar, sought a partner to help meet its environmental commitments and optimize energy usage at its Chesterfield foundry. They partnered with GridBeyond to intelligently manage and optimize their energy demand through its energy intelligence and control platform.

GridBeyond implemented a solution that included connecting the site's industrial assets to its platform and later introducing a fully-financed 500kW battery. This allowed United Cast Bar to generate revenue from National Grid frequency response programs, significantly reduce peak energy charges, and lower its carbon footprint, all with no upfront cost and no risk to its manufacturing operations.
