‘Flexible energy capacity’ is the ability of buildings to generate, store, and manage their own energy, by changing the amount (kWh) and timing of electricity sourced from the grid and by using onsite power sources (e.g. solar, generators, EV charging, battery energy storage). By utilizing flexible energy capacity within their buildings, companies can help close energy supply & demand gaps more quickly, securely, and affordably, and with lower-carbon energy sources.
Blueprint Power helps our customers identify and add flexible energy capacity in their buildings, optimize its use, and connect it to energy markets that pay for flexible capacity. Flexible energy capacity can come from existing building systems (e.g. chillers, cogeneration units) to generate near-term value and from adding new capacity, such as distributed energy resources (e.g. solar, battery energy storage, and EV charging) to create long-term value.
Identify, analyze and report on where flexible energy capacity can add business value.
Our DIGBOX® metering hardware and online Portal provide more granular, real-time transparency into energy usage patterns and anomalies to help organizations decrease costs, reduce emissions, and more easily access data to support energy management goals.
Model, scope and execute options to utilize and increase flexible energy capacity.
We help customers optimize existing flexible capacity; model options and potential returns for adding new capacity; work with Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms to implement capacity; and conduct portfolio energy roadmapping to identify and prioritize energy supply and management strategies to support financial and environmental goals.
Connect to market programs that pay for flexible energy capacity and incentivize managing demand.
We help customers enroll and participate in grid Demand Response programs that pay for flexible capacity, optimize their electricity tariff rate structure, leverage regulatory incentives, and enable submetering where applicable.
We can potentially help building owners start to generate cash flow, carbon reduction, and resiliency benefits in just a few months, while planning and implementing value-generating site improvements for the long-term.
2 Incentives offered by Independent Systems Operators / utilities vary based upon their demand response programs and regions. See the U.S. Federal Energy Management Program website for profiles of demand response (DR) and time-variable pricing (TVP) offerings for states across the country.
