Types of demand response programs

TXU Reduction Rewards

When electricity demand is high, you can earn money by reducing your energy usage with Reduction Rewards. We’ll notify you when to reduce, and you participate when you can- it’s totally up to you. With no commitment, it’s the easiest way to earn.

Leveraging TXU Energy Reduction Rewards, Cypress Fairbanks ISD earned $15,000 for curtailment. Trimming usage was easily achieved by reducing lighting in noncritical areas and adjusting HVAC set points to reduce the air conditioning load.

Emergency Response Service (ERS)

Earn extra money and get an expert energy analysis of your business’s unique operations. Administered by ERCOT, this program comes with a contract period that pays you for reducing load during rare emergency events – whether or not these events happen.

4 Coincident Peak (4CP)

Our 4CP service gives you advance notice to reduce usage when demand peaks on the ERCOT system. All you need is an IDR meter, and you can save thousands of dollars in TDU charges.
