(41b) Smart Grid: You Are Not Alone – the Role of Curtailment Service Providers

As the grid becomes “smarter,” the chemical process industries (CPI) are increasingly finding opportunities to reduce overall power costs, and in many cases, develop new revenue streams. However, finding these new opportunities within the rapidly changing power industry can be a daunting task. Fortunately, third-party consultants known as curtailment service providers (CSP) can help you navigate this ever-changing landscape. This presentation takes a high-level look at industrial demand-response (DR) opportunities in the U.S. deregulated power markets, the revenue potential of these opportunities, and the process for implementing a smart-grid opportunity at a CPI facility.
