NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As extreme heat put electrical infrastructure to the test across North America again this summer, utilities and their customers showed they can step up and support grid reliability when it matters most.

Key Points: 
  • In total, EnergyHub utilities called 1,376 events during the summer of 2022, an 83% increase over 2021.
  • Utilities running those nearly 1,400 events shifted 8.5 GWh out of peak times, reinforcing DER programs' position as a valuable part of the resource stack.
  • This summer alone, six clients called events over 50 MW and one client - Salt River Project - called multiple 130+ MW events.
  • Their participation in our customer-centric thermostat demand response program, powered by EnergyHub, allowed us to shift demand off-peak and provide uninterrupted service across LADWP's service territory."
