Case Study: a paper manufacturing company earns over $9,000/month with Voltus demand response

Paper manufacturing company earns over $9,000/month supporting electric grid reliability

Paper Manufacturing Company worked with Voltus to find a new revenue stream through demand response while helping support local grid reliability and meeting ESG goals. Electricity was a major operating cost, and the company wanted to better monetize flexible load at its facility.

Voltus evaluated the site, identified 8 MW of curtailable load, and installed its Voltlet monitoring device along with access to the Voltus platform for real-time usage and DR reporting. With clear dispatch communications and a curtailment plan that included conversion machines, the company earned over $9,000 per month on average in 2022, generated more than $110,000 in revenue that year, and avoided 88 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
