Case Study: EnergyUnited achieves peak load reductions and member savings with Virtual Peaker

EnergyUnited enrolls 1,000+ devices in year one with Virtual Peaker

EnergyUnited, North Carolina's largest electric cooperative, faced the challenge of reducing peak load costs, engaging its members to participate in a demand response program, and efficiently processing incentives. To address this, they partnered with Virtual Peaker and utilized its SaaS Suites to launch their Peak Time Perks program.

The solution from Virtual Peaker allowed customers to easily enroll their smart thermostats. The utility could then schedule events and communicate with members from a single platform, remotely adjusting thermostats during peak hours to reduce demand. This implementation resulted in over 1,000 devices enrolled in the first year, leading to significant energy reduction per event and direct savings for the members.
