electricity & gas: load management

Significant energy costs can be avoided through:

  • participation in standing reserve auctions
  • avoiding triad peaks and
  • other balancing mechanisms including supply contracts that mirror precisely your business operations

Standing Reserve is one of National Grid Transco’s (NGT’s) Balancing Services for which payments are made to the Client by NGT for switching off or turning down energy intensive equipment. On-site generation as well as load reduction can be offered for this scheme and clients can operate using either a single sufficiently large piece of plant, or an aggregation of smaller equipment.

ESP has extensive knowledge of Standing Reserve and other Balancing Services. We can assist clients make considerable savings or receive incentive payments through proactive load management ranging from participation in schemes referred to above and through financial modeling to effect the most appropriate contract structure or in some cases identify economic cases for changing working practices and shift patterns.
