Offset Rental Expense with Electricity Demand Response in Summer
We all know summers are getting hotter and more humid. Demand for air conditioning -- and therefore, electricity -- strains the electrical grid. So, can't we do something about it? Yes, and housing providers might get reimbursed for helping. At this presentation, we'll explain the current programs available and hear your candid feedback:
- Installing and enrolling smart thermostats to reduce energy use during times of peak energy demand.
- Installing and enrolling home battery storage to automatically respond to grid signals to discharge the battery during times of peak energy demand.
Attendees will leave knowing more about "active demand response." Also, we'll provide valuable feedback to a utility so the program can reach more and help us all stay cool without straining the grid.
Can't make this date? If the feedback indicates demand response works for landlords, we'll record this topic for a future video.
