Load Aggregation & Flexibility Services.
Plains power - Connecting you to the end user.
You might be an EDB, owner of transmission assets or a Generator / Retailer? You may need to defer a new GXP or manage a peak load. We are here to help you.
An end user might be someone that has flexible load/generation or storage? This may be an irrigation pump or irrigation scheme, cool store, battery storage, EV charger, that can provide flexibility to ‘turn off’ upon signal and be financially rewarded.
Our job is to use the flexibility of the end users load to help manage constraints/problems. Our philosophy is simple, if we can make money by saving you money, and reducing costs for the end user, we all win. Let’s stop investing in bigger assets and use what we have smarter.
Our process;
- Understand the problem & cost to fix the problem
- Understand the end user behaviour where the problem exists
- Engage with the end user to gauge interest in solving the problem
- Design a program based on frequency & length, value attached to fixing the problem, and appetite from the end user.
- By acknowledging a problem exists, we can at least temporarily defer investment (providing sufficient resource is available). But, if we can identify a problem early enough, we believe permanent deferral of investment to be possible.
