Energy Optimization

Businesses face increasing pressure to manage energy consumption as energy costs rise, demand grows and new challenges emerge across the energy landscape. As businesses look for ways to optimize their energy strategies and reduce costs, implementing advanced solutions is key to meeting operational, financial and sustainability goals.

Many businesses operate mission-critical systems that require uninterrupted performance, making it difficult to implement energy-saving strategies that require curtailment or infrastructure changes. Smarter, more adaptive strategies can help businesses overcome these barriers while addressing rising demand from AI data centers and electrification, aging infrastructure and limited capital for upgrades.

As the demand for energy grows, businesses need flexible solutions that reduce strain on the grid while delivering financial and operational value. Constellation’s Energy Optimization services, powered by GridBeyond’s intelligent energy platform, can help businesses reduce costs, earn revenue and support grid resiliency through strategic load response programs.

Constellation, through its relationship with GridBeyond, has a variety of tailored strategies that use machine learning to analyze equipment and market data, identifying the optimal times to curtail. These strategies provide cost-effective ways to reduce peak demand, avoid new generation costs and improve grid efficiency:

• Peak Response: Reduces demand-based charges by curtailing your load when Constellation notifies of peak demand hours on the grid.
• Price Response: Provides revenue through on-bill credits for curtailing load when Constellation notifies of peak energy market prices.
• Demand Response: GridBeyond’s Demand Response program generates revenue opportunities through participation in load response programs offered by grid operators.

Backed by predictive analytics and automation, each program is designed to maximize value and efficiency. This allows businesses to tailor their energy strategies to meet their unique operational needs and sustainability goals without compromising performance.

As part of our Energy Optimization services, the GridBeyond demand response solution offers an efficient and cost-effective way to earn revenues, support grid reliability and align sustainability goals. This approach delivers measurable benefits through grid-focused participation and customer-first program design, so businesses can eliminate the challenges and focus on their operations.

Strengthening Grid Reliability and Efficiency

Curtailing load during high-demand periods helps businesses strengthen grid reliability while avoiding the need for costly infrastructure expansion. By making smarter use of existing capacity, organizations can maintain operational continuity and contribute to a more stable energy system.

This demand-side flexibility also helps reduce reliance on carbon-intensive peaking plants, aligning with both economic and environmental goals. Through targeting load curtailment during critical hours, these programs help businesses lower electricity costs, avoid the need for new power plant construction and enable sustainable growth – all while advancing a more efficient and reliable energy future.

Designing Smarter Curtailment Strategies

Tailored curtailment strategies help commercial and industrial businesses reduce costs and minimize operational impact while supporting long-term sustainability and resiliency goals – all without compromising performance.
