Committing to Help Lower the Strain on the Grid Can Yield Powerful Rewards

The Ontario Power Authority has set some very ambitious goals to help ensure the long-term reliability and sustainability of the electricity supply in the province. To achieve these goals, the OPA has implemented electricity conservation and efficiency programs, along with demand management initiatives across every sector.

One such initiative—Demand Response—offers monetary rewards to business customers who are willing and able to shift or decrease load to help reduce the strain on the electric grid. Direct Energy Business helps simplify participation and reduce the risk of non-compliance by acting as an aggregator for customers who wish to participate in the lucrative Demand Response 3 (DR3) program.
