Understanding Energy Management
in Your Region: MISO-Ameren
Did You Know?
≥ 1 MW during the highest peaks of the year can save anywhere from $80k to $85k MW-year.
New Challenges Require New Strategies to Deliver Energy Savings
On-going grid modernization and the transition to cleaner, renewable generation have increased the cost to deliver power to businesses.
Delivery costs in Ameren continue to increase each year as a result of grid modernization, long-range transmission upgrades and the replacement of coal with renewable generation. The charges to deliver electricity to your business comprise about a third of your monthly bill.
Weighing the Options
MISO offers Demand Response (DR) programs such as Operating Reserves and Planning Resources in which participants can earn incentive payments to reduce consumption when the grid is stressed. However, these programs do not address demand charges.
Demand charges are based on a facility’s consumption that coincides with the hour with the highest demand each month on the Ameren system. Reducing consumption during this hour will considerably reduce monthly electricity costs
