Case Study: Central Texas ISD earns about $20K annually with NRG Energy's RED demand response program

Central Texas Independent School District earns $20K annually with NRG Energy

Central Texas Independent School District (ISD) wanted to monetize its flexible energy load across its deregulated locations by participating in a demand response program. Their challenge was to find a solution that would generate revenue with minimal operational disruption and without the risk of penalties for missing mandated reduction thresholds. They partnered with vendor NRG Energy to implement its Responsive Economic Dispatch (RED) service.

NRG's RED program provided the ideal solution, allowing the school district to curtail energy on its own terms without penalty. The program offered advanced notifications and analysis to help the ISD successfully execute load reductions. As a result, Central Texas ISD earns approximately $20,000 annually from the program, money which is paid directly back into the district's budget.
