Summary
Utility companies will pay manufacturers for the right to curtail energy usage during peak demand for power. That's a double-edged sword with a clear risk/reward. Fresh revenue is great, but losing production to power reductions isn't.
Smart energy management and optimization technologies predict price, generation and energy demand, and they continuously re-train themselves based on real-world conditions — providing manufacturers with new revenues while ensuring that production quality is not impacted.
Join this webinar to discover how demand-side response (DSR) and AI-driven market optimizers can:
Unlock flexibility in operations
Leverage advanced technology to predict, adjust and optimize energy loads
Reduce energy costs
Inform strategic trading strategies that drive returns while adhering to operating requirements
