Case Study: a leading Illinois product packaging manufacturer earns over $26,000/month with Voltus demand response

Illinois product packaging manufacturer earns over $26,000/month supporting electric grid reliability

Voltus worked with a leading Illinois product packaging manufacturer that was looking for a new revenue stream through demand response while also supporting grid stability and advancing its ESG goals. Electricity was a major operating cost, and the company wanted a practical way to curtail load and earn money from its flexibility.

Voltus evaluated the manufacturer’s operations, identified 13 MW of curtailable load, installed its Voltlet energy monitoring device, and gave the customer access to its platform for real-time usage visibility and DR reporting. With clear dispatch communications and a coordinated curtailment plan, the customer earned over $26,000 per month on average in 2022, totaling more than $315,000 in revenue, according to Voltus.
