Case Study: Wood Products Company earns over $55,000/month with Voltus demand response

Wood products company earns over $55,000/month supporting electric grid reliability

Wood Products Company wanted to turn its high electricity usage into a new revenue stream while also supporting grid reliability in its community and meeting ESG goals. Voltus helped assess the company’s demand response eligibility and identified 10 MW of curtailable load, setting the stage for participation in demand response programs.

Voltus then installed its Voltlet monitoring device, gave the customer access to its platform for real-time energy visibility and reporting, and coordinated clear dispatch communications and a curtailment plan. As a result, Wood Products Company earned over $55,000 per month on average in 2022, generated more than $665,000 in revenue that year, and avoided 4 metric tons of CO₂ emissions.
