GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GRHU)
GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. a leading provider of energy efficiency solutions and sustainable infrastructure products, this month announced that it has been engaged to implement Southern California Edison's (SCE) Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) program for two industrial customers. The customers include Apogee Containers, Inc. and MGE UPS, LLC.
About Automated Demand Response
The Auto-DR program offers significant financial incentives and technical support to Southern California Edison (SCE) customers willing to install equipment that enables participation in demand response events versus depending on their employees to perform all the curtailment activities manually when required. Normally, control systems (automation) are installed with the programming needed to achieve reductions in electricity consumption during peak periods of demand on the grid. "Participants in SCE's Auto-DR program are in 100% control of the actual curtailment measures implemented on an event-to-event basis. By utilizing an Auto-DR system, participants will have real-time usage information and the technical means to reduce electric consumption during costly peak energy periods when the demand is highest. On-going financial benefits can be realized from program enrollment and DR event participation (benefits vary from program to program). Additionally, the systems commonly implemented for Auto-DR participation are fully capable of being used to improve productivity and equipment operating efficiencies as well as provide users with information that can augment routine and emergency operations and maintenance regimens," adds Robert Davis, Vice President of Energy Services at GRHU.
