Demand Response Programs for Your Business
What is Active Demand Response (ADR)?
Active Demand Response is an energy solution that helps customers reduce energy consumption during periods of high demand on the electric grid and get paid for using less during these periods. Demand response programs help create a stronger, more reliable grid, while rewarding you for participating.

Curtailment Service Providers
Curtailment service providers (“CSPs”) are experts on demand response and can provide guidance on load shedding efforts for your business. They assist in finding ways to reduce your load, allowing you to receive the greatest ADR Program benefits. CSPs are trusted partners that provide demand response equipment and services, and in return for their services, you share a portion of your total incentive payment with them. Each CSP has a different incentive sharing split that can be negotiated.
In the UI ADR Program, you do not need a CSP to participate or earn incentives, but utilizing their services often result in greater operational impact reductions. Please reach out to the below CSPs for additional information on how to enroll in the UI ADR Program.
