What You Get
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL EFFICIENCY MARKET
20% upfront cash payment of the forecasted value of your energy efficiency projects. You’ll get money in your pocket as soon as you start installing projects, limiting your risk and preserving your cash flow. Most projects save at least 20% of their estimated value.
Extra payments for the additional metered savings on your projects, beyond the initial guaranteed payment value.
PEAK FLEXMARKET
- Variable payments for your energy impacts delivered at the meter. There is no preference for the type of technologies or strategies you use to generate the savings.
Flex Savings: Payment for daily energy load shedding or shifting during peak hours (4-9 p.m. from June 1-October 31) is based on the value of energy at the time you reduce your usage. The average value of energy saved for gross peak (from 4-7 p.m.) is $0.35 per kWh and for net peak (from 7-9 p.m.) is $0.60 per kWh. Actual value varies per hour per day.
Demand Response: Payment for energy load shedding or shifting during demand response events is valued at $2.00 per kWh.
