Case Study: Western Brand achieves demand response revenues and sustainability gains with GridBeyond

Western Brand - Customer Case Study

Western Brand, a poultry and egg processor, partnered with GridBeyond to adopt a demand side response service that would generate revenue and improve sustainability without disrupting their critical production operations. The company was initially skeptical about how the programme would affect their daily quotas for supplying chicken and egg products.

GridBeyond conducted a thorough audit to identify flexibility in assets like compressors, ovens, and freezers. By connecting these assets to its platform with advanced metering and control technology, GridBeyond implemented a solution that was fully financed and risk-free for the customer. The results included new revenue streams, cost savings, and a reduced carbon footprint, all achieved while production continued uninterrupted across their two sites, which had 2.9 MW placed into the programmes.
