The necessary evolution
If there is an universal characteristic in the consumption profile of companies and institutions, it is CHANGE.
There are so many variables that influence consumption! A set of them is linked to what happens in the economy. Another, in the strategy for conducting activities.
Contracting kW demand is a very strict deal. And rightly so, as the electricity sector's production chain is capital intensive and, in order to serve the customer, massive financial resources need to be amortized.
I created an innovative concept that brings a new opportunity to customers and the utilities that serve them.
I coined it DFE (Demand Flexibility Exchange). This is a "mechanism" for exchanging contracted demand differences among customers of the same electricity concessionaire.
It is a "zero sum game". Customers exchange differences in their contracted demands, however, keeping the sum of all demands UNCHANGED.
And what are the advantages?
CUSTOMERS now have a way to adjust their demands and reducing their associated costs, which are higher following the traditional contractual arrangement.
CONCESSIONAIRE (1) offers a "value-added" solution for its customers and (2) increases the performance of the investments made, as the same total contracted demand will deliver a greater volume of energy (an "idle" contracted demand at a customer, when transferred to another customer, becomes "active").
