About the Program
MCE’s Peak Flex Market Program is a demand response (DR) program aimed at reducing peak energy demand in the evenings, which helps make the grid more resilient. When California’s electrical grid is overwhelmed and electricity costs are high, MCE will pay its customers or aggregators working with local MCE customers for shedding or shifting their energy consumption using clean energy strategies.
Qualifying clean energy strategies (interventions) can include but are not limited to behavioral changes, building or equipment controls and/or scheduling, and battery storage. Incentives will be paid for impacts achieved during demand response events.
Events are:
-
Called approximately 24 hours in advance
-
Occur between June 1 and October 31
-
Compensated at $2,000/MWh
