Case Study: a leading agricultural company earns nearly $3,000/month and cuts CO2 emissions with Voltus demand response

Agricultural facility earns nearly $3,000/month supporting reliability of electric grid

Leading Agricultural Company partnered with Voltus after identifying electricity as a major operating cost and wanting to create a new revenue stream through demand response while supporting grid reliability and ESG goals. Voltus evaluated the facility’s eligibility, identified 500 kW of curtailable load, and offered its Voltlet monitoring device and platform to provide visibility into energy use and potential earnings.

Voltus implemented a no-cost, no-risk demand response program with real-time monitoring, clear reporting, and coordinated dispatch communications so the customer could follow a curtailment plan. As a result, Leading Agricultural Company earned nearly $3,000 per month on average in 2022, generating nearly $32,000 in annual revenue and avoiding 8 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
