Why Demand Response

Demand Response (DR) programs offer incentives to those who choose to temporarily reduce electricity usage. Get paid for participating, while also reducing your electricity use. You can become more financially and environmentally responsible during high demand periods.

What is Fifth Fuel Management™?

Servidyne’s Fifth Fuel Management™, is a near real-time energy efficiency and demand response management service. With no increase to your staff, our web-enabled technology allows you to opt-in, opt-out, or modify DR requests from the utility. By participating, you will get paid from your utility in return for lowering your energy usage in high-demand times.

Why This is Different

Unlike many other DR programs, Fifth Fuel Management gives you control over your building operations with no penalties. Servidyne’s energy efficiency solutions have already saved our customers millions of dollars in reduced energy and operating costs. With our “Inside the Skin™” expertise, we know what really works in buildings and what is reliable and measurable for utilities. We will, along with you, determine, what energy-using assets can be modified during a DR event without jeopardizing tenant or customer comfort.

What It Does for You

Financial: Reduces energy usage and cuts energy costs. Additionally, many DR programs offer financial incentives to those who reduce electric load during peak periods.

Reliability: Reduces peak energy usage and lowers your risk to rotating outages.

Environmental: Increases environmental stewardship by reducing electricity. By minimizing the need for generation, less emissions are released into the air.
