Case Study: a cold storage facility service provider achieves $190K+ in demand response savings with Voltus

Cold Storage Facility Maximizes Revenue and Savings through Dispatch Automation

Cold Storage Facility Service Provider is a cold storage wholesaler in Pennsylvania operating an 8,128-pallet refrigerated facility with 11 climate zones, and its challenge was managing high energy costs while staying efficient and protecting product quality. Voltus helped the company identify ways to monetize flexibility in its operations through demand response participation and automation.

Voltus enrolled the customer in PJM Peak Saver and PJM Synchronized Reserves, installed real-time metering, integrated its hardware with the facility’s building management system, and enabled automated curtailment through VoltApp. The result was more than $190,000 earned and saved over the last two years, with additional expected upside from Synchronized Reserves pricing increases and no upfront cost or participation risk to the customer.
