YOUR BUILDING CAN MAKE YOU MONEY. WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW.

The utility pays you to briefly reduce electricity during peak demand. SPERE Power automates the entire process so you capture the revenue without disrupting operations.

WHAT IS DEMAND RESPONSE?

A GRID STABILITY PROGRAM THAT PAYS BUSINESSES TO TEMPORARILY REDUCE ELECTRICITY USE.

When electricity demand spikes—on the hottest days, during peak hours—grid operators and utilities need businesses to briefly pull back their consumption. In exchange, they pay. 

The payment comes as direct cash (common at the grid operator level, e.g., ERCOT) or as a bill credit (common at the retail utility level, e.g., TXU). Both are real value. Lead with cash where applicable. 

Most commercial operators are eligible. Almost none are enrolled. The barrier isn’t qualification but complexity. SPERE Power removes the complexity entirely.

HOW SPERE POWER MAKES IT AUTOMATIC

SIGNAL DETECTION

SPERE Power monitors utility and grid operator demand signals continuously.

AUTOMATED LOAD REDUCTION

When a demand response event is triggered, SPERE Power automatically reduces non-critical electrical loads without disrupting operations or requiring staff action.

OPT-OUT CONTROL

You retain full control. Any location can be opted out of any event at any time—critical for moments like health inspections or high-traffic periods.

DOCUMENTED REVENUE CAPTURE

Every event is logged. Every payment is tracked. The record is always current and always accessible.

WHAT IT PAYS

Demand response payments vary by utility market, enrolled capacity, and event frequency. A free energy analysis produces a revenue estimate specific to your portfolio and geography before you commit to anything.

A lower bill is a saving. A demand response payment is income. There’s a difference. After 12–18 months,
that difference is what keeps the value proposition growing.
