If you spend more than about $1 million a year on energy, your potential savings are big enough to make this worth your time.

If you operate more than about 20 stores, your energy-management challenges are complex enough that you’ll welcome these ideas, specifically aimed at multisite retailers.

Energy generators, often coupled with utility companies, are scattered across the United States and offer their power (fossil fuel, natural gas, wind, solar, other types of localized generation) to utility companies and deregulated suppliers.

Challenges Faced by Energy Generators Today

Utilities and energy suppliers are no longer striking long-term (e.g. 20-year) contracts with energy generators. Reducing the predictability of the supply makes it difficult for energy generators who must establish estimate needs and construct capacity. Generators no longer have the same degree of certainty in these changing times with shorter-term contracts, new energy participants, risky credit issues, and the new regulatory carbon emission caps.

Value of Verisae Smart Grid Platform to Energy Generators

Verisae can help generators limit the amount of spinning reserves they have on “stand-by” increasing the overall efficiency of their assets and reducing the end-price to consumers. We can also help enable those generators that are producing more renewable energy incorporate their power into the grid.

Scenario of Smart Grid Use by Energy Generators

  • Management of “behind-the-meter” energy consumption of customer assets for needs assessment
  • Incorporation of localized renewable energy generations with automated “turn-offs” via smart meters
  • Predictability of energy consumption via trending and historical energy usage analysis
  • Visibility of energy load through the utility company down to the energy consuming asset to anticipate energy needs
