Enersponse, a leading distributed energy resource (DER) management provider, today announced Clean Response™, a first-to-market product that automates the reduction of energy consumption when the grid is “dirty” and the majority of power is being generated from non-renewable forms of energy like gas or coal. To help curb reliance on fossil fuels, Clean Response monitors the real-time carbon make-up of the grid and when CO2 percentages are high, Enersponse matches clients’ flexible loads with intelligent automation to avoid carbon intensive energy use based on their pre-determined and customized specifications.

“Clean Response has been developed in partnership with our Fortune 500 customers to help meet their corporate ESG requirements and contribute to our combined goal of establishing a net zero future,” explained James Muraca, chief technology officer at Enersponse. “Clean Response is complementary to utility Demand Response programs and helps speed up the grid’s transition towards renewable forms of energy generation and stabilize volatility that can arise during extreme weather events, which have significantly increased due climate change.”
Enersponse’s platform connects to each site providing access to real-time data and effortlessly turns Clean Response energy reduction events into an impact statement that showcases how much CO2 has been avoided or reduced across their portfolio. Customers can compare the CO2 avoided during events by the equivalent number of passenger cars removed from the road for a year; pounds of burned coal; measure the carbon sequestered by the number of acres of new forests in the U.S. annually; and more. The impact statements provide an easier way to digest the information and takes ESG reporting to the next level.
Customers of all sizes can participate by logging into Enersponse’s user-friendly online platform that provides the ability to control and choose Clean Response event settings that match the needs of each of their individual sites. When the real-time carbon intensity of the grid is higher than acceptable, Enersponse’s algorithm automates power down preferences such as dimming lights and reducing HVAC temperatures at big-box retail stores, slowing down pumping at water and wastewater treatment plants or pausing deep freeze cycles at supermarkets.
“Introducing Clean Response to our portfolio further supports our commitment to creating automated, customer-friendly power conservation solutions and doing our part in combatting climate change,” concluded Muraca.
