Demand Side Response Programs

Unlocking Value Through Demand Side Response

Australia's electricity market creates opportunities for organisations to reduce energy costs and increase the value of electrification investments through demand side response. By adjusting energy use in response to market conditions, organisations can lower electricity costs while improving the performance of battery energy storage systems (BESS), electrified assets and onsite renewable energy systems.

We help organisations identify and implement demand side response opportunities that align energy consumption with operational requirements and market signals. This includes assessing how and when electricity is used, identifying opportunities for load shifting, and exploring participation in energy markets to improve the value of energy storage and electrification investments.

Building an Effective Demand Side Response Strategy

Effective demand side response begins with understanding where flexibility exists within an organisation's operations. We work with organisations to assess energy use, operational requirements and charging behaviours to identify practical opportunities to reduce costs and improve asset utilisation.

Through workshops and targeted analysis, operational teams gain a clear understanding of available opportunities and the steps required to implement them. The outcome is a commercially focused strategy that supports energy cost reduction while contributing to broader decarbonisation objectives.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can help organisations manage electricity costs, support electrification initiatives and improve energy resilience.

A BESS stores electricity from renewable energy sources or the grid in rechargeable batteries and releases it when needed, helping reduce reliance on the electricity grid and manage energy demand. We help organisations assess, procure and optimise BESS as part of a broader energy transition strategy.

Our support spans feasibility assessment, storage sizing and integration with renewable energy systems and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. We also help organisations evaluate market participation opportunities, identify available grants and assess how battery storage can create value through energy arbitrage, peak demand reduction and demand side response.
