Case Study: Global Mining Company earns $24,000/month and boosts grid reliability with Voltus demand response

Mining customer earns $24,000/month supporting electric grid reliability

Global Mining Company worked with Voltus to find a new revenue stream through demand response while helping support local grid reliability and meet ESG goals. Electricity was a significant operating cost, and the company wanted to identify curtailable load and estimate potential earnings.

Voltus evaluated the site, identified 3 MW of curtailable load, and provided a no-cost, no-risk agreement, along with a Voltlet monitoring device and access to its platform for real-time energy visibility and reporting. With Voltus’s dispatch guidance and a curtailment plan tied to SCADA-controlled process changes, Global Mining Company earned an average of $24,000 per month in 2022, generated over $287,000 in revenue that year, and avoided 8 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
