Case Study: a big-box retailer generates over $110,000 per month with Voltus demand response

Big-box retailer generates over $110,000/month supporting electric grid reliability

Voltus worked with a big-box retailer company that wanted to reduce electricity costs while creating a new revenue stream through demand response and supporting grid reliability and ESG goals. The customer had significant curtailable load across multiple stores and was looking for a simple way to participate without adding operational risk.

Voltus evaluated the retailer’s eligibility, identified 55 MW of curtailable load, and provided a no-cost, no-risk agreement along with its Voltlet monitoring device and platform for real-time energy visibility and reporting. With clear dispatch communications and a coordinated curtailment plan, Voltus helped the customer earn over $110,000 per month on average in 2022 and avoid 442 metric tons of CO₂ emissions.
