1. I would like to ask you all a
question?

2. Does anyone know what
Demand Side Response is?

3. Th Energy Triangle
It’s dead simple! The national grid
pays companies to reduce there
Energy consumption at times of
peak demand

4. £200,000
Businesses are earning up
1 million pounds a year.
Right Now!

5. £160,000
Well - some are.

6. £160,000
However surprisingly some are
not!

7. £128,000
96% of UK companies are Not
Taking advantage of the financial
rewards they are entitled to from
the National Grid

8. £128,000
Yet, a recent poll in the Energyst
reports that 79 % want to take
part. So what’s stopping them?

9. £100,000
The same survey explains the
catch!

10. £100,000
Let me tell you the real reason
Why!

11. £100,000
It’s fiendishly difficult to
understand.

12. Having been on many
presentations involving demand
side response.

13. There is so much technical
information to get your head
around:

14. Frequency response, Power
Responsive, Non-BM Balancing
Services [shrug], STOR, STOR
Runway, Turn up, Turn Down, TA
(Triad Avoidance), TA (Transitional
arrangements), TA Auctions.

15. Who can possibly keep up with
all of this?

16. This is where our team come in:
they understand the details of
Demand Side Response so our
customers don’t have to.

17. And more importantly so I don’t
have to!

18. My focus is on the 3rd element
that Kit and Rachael spoke
about.

19. The first thing the team does is
to collect data.

20. The second is to use this
information to manage the
customer’s energy portfolio.

21. The third - the end result - is to
report the savings we’ve made.

22. At this point you’re probably
wondering: how much?

23. Well, it varies from customer to
customer, but in the last year the
team has delivered savings of
between 12 and 44%.

24. And what’s more all of the
team - Mick, Dan, Rachael, Kit,
Sam, Graham and everyone
back at the office

25. (although Kit, not David Brent)
work hard every day to
save our customers even
more.

26. And I’d like to end by thanking
them for that.
