DEMAND FLEXIBILITY EXCHANGE - DFE - A NEW CONCEPT FOR ELECTRIC UTILITIES AND THEIR CUSTOMERS

Access Video

I created an innovative concept – I called it Demand Flexibility Exchange (DFE).

It is a place where industrial, commercial, and institutional energy users connected to the same local electric utility company can meet to exchange their kW contracted demand differences in a win-win mode:

* The utility company can deliver more energy with the SAME overall CAPEX associated infrastructure
and
* The utility clients can better adjust their contracted demands (avoiding “idle” demands and/or penalties for surpassing the contracted demand)

The DFE is synergic with Demand Response (DR) programs!

This 5-min-video shows a high-level overview of the concept, how it was created out of a real-life situation and the value it brings to the utility companies and their clients.
