Utility Solutions

RTP provides customized, turnkey load management products that lower risk, improve grid stability, and address growing environmental concerns. We will partner with you to develop a customized load management plan that addresses the specific needs of your service territory. Our offering consists of a three step process to refine Negawatt Power Pool® offerings in your territory that includes consulting & program development, customer recruitment & turnkey implementation, and on-going program management.

Consulting & Program Development

Upon evaluation of energy use and the role that load management plays in your territory, RTP will provide a full scope of program development services. Our Market Solutions team will...

  • Assess curtailment potential
  • Outline curtailment program structuring and participation rules
  • Evaluate and propose measurement and verification procedures (including automated Customer Baseline Load calculations)
  • Develop program milestones
  • Coordinate program launch and marketing efforts
Customer Recruitment & Turnkey Implementation

Your customers’ satisfaction is key to participant retention. Our focus throughout the implementation of your load management program will be to recruit the expected demand reduction capacity while fostering excellent customer relationships. With our company’s focus on working with your customers to provide customized, reliable, and repeatable results through automation, we are confident that our approach will ensure success.

After participants have enrolled in your curtailment program, RTP will provide turnkey, automated load management solutions. Our system removes the operational burden of participation for your customers by automatically accepting event signals, reducing energy consumption, providing high-resolution meter data, calculating measurement and verification, and automating settlement procedures.

By automating customer participation and the flow of program data, our system removes the element of human error and the delay associated with manual processes.

On-going Program Management

After the program launch, RTP works as your partner to maintain your customer satisfaction through continued recruitment and program improvements. On a regular basis, RTP will communicate program performance statistics and suggest possible improvements. Load management programs are not “one size fits all”—with RTP Controls, your program can adjust to accommodate changing needs in your region.

What Makes RTP Different?

Regardless of how much you have tapped into the load curtailment potential in your service territory, RTP Controls will help you expand your resources and improve load reduction predictability. RTP Controls provides turnkey automated demand response solutions that result in reliable, accurate, and effective demand reduction across North America. The RTP system is capable of managing customer participation in load management programs, interacting with existing automation systems, and utilizing many existing metering platforms. The system employs a scalable architecture that can monitor and control one to thousands of facilities as a single dynamic resource.

Our success lies in leveraging automation in the load management process. Through our GridLogic System™, we deliver load curtailment strategies that reduce the operational burden of energy management. By removing the element of human interaction from initiating load curtailment, event verification, and settlement procedures; load curtailment programs become a grid relief tool that you can count on.

In addition, RTP Controls’ load curtailment strategies leverage existing automation equipment that captures ”downstream” curtailment resources. Our algorithms for load control provide unprecedented results and flexibility for facility-level energy curtailment that truly maximizes the contribution for each program participant.
