Case Study: a leading Texas school district earns over $100,000 per year with Voltus demand response

Texas school district earns over $100,000/year supporting electric grid reliability

A leading Texas school district worked with Voltus to turn high electricity costs into a new revenue stream through demand response, while also supporting grid reliability and advancing its ESG goals. Voltus evaluated the district’s operations and identified 4 MW of curtailable load, helping the customer see the earning potential from participating in demand response.

Voltus then installed its Voltlet monitoring device and gave the district access to its platform for real-time usage visibility and DR reporting. With clear dispatch coordination and a curtailment plan that included remotely reducing chiller and HVAC use and dimming non-essential lights, the district earned more than $100,000 in 2022, averaging $8,500 per month, and avoided 10 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
