DR Regulation - DeMand
Regulation service is vital for the continual balance of power generation with load-side demand and maintaining the amount of frequency needed for electricity transmission. Clients that participate in regulation service commit to either generation or demand-side resources, raising or lowering their output or consumption as necessary to assist with moment-by-moment demand or grid changes.
Clients providing regulation must have the ability to change their energy output by a minimum of one megawatt based on a 6-second signal. Regulation can include electricity from a business process or equipment that facilitates quick increases or decreases to a client's load consumption. Ohms Energy has extensive experience working with clients to develop curtailment plans for programs that ensure that the client's core business operations will not be adversely affected. Payments for regulation program participation can range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the number of megawatts the client can curtail and the number of hours the client can participate.
Participation in regulation programs is completely voluntary. If a client is unable to participate for a period of time, the client simply needs to notify Ohms Energy two days prior, and the client will be removed from the market.
