HMLP Achieves Savings Through a Strategic Demand Response Effort
Q: What piece of practical advice often gets overlooked for other utilities starting a similar program?
Don't overcomplicate the program; partner with the right vendors, make a plan, and be prepared to adjust as you go; actively survey customers to identify barriers to participation and address them.
HMLP Achieves Savings Through a Strategic Demand Response Effort
Q: What strategies help align utility teams and external partners like technology vendors?
Establish a shared understanding of the program's purpose and success metrics from the start, maintain predictable cadence and no-surprises communication, keep ongoing check-ins about readiness and performance, and conduct post-event reviews to learn and adapt.
HMLP Achieves Savings Through a Strategic Demand Response Effort
Q: What role did Beam Reach Consulting play in this effort?
Beam Reach helped capture and crystallize Brianna's points into a case study and contributed to telling the story for publication on Public Power's website.
HMLP Achieves Savings Through a Strategic Demand Response Effort
Q: So what's been the key in terms of the utility achieving the success?
Two factors: first, Next Zero had an established, ready-to-go Connected Homes program with other utilities, which allowed HMLP to leverage existing infrastructure and focus on tweaking and marketing; second, aggressive customer outreach—letters, emails, and leveraging the Next Zero resources—helped drive participation and ensure savings.
SRP’s Jeff Shaver Details How Customers Benefit from Recycling of Old Power Lines
Q: Can you offer additional details on the cutting-edge recycling techniques used for cable jacketing and its recyclability?
Arizona State University helped turn cable jacketing into a material that can be carbonized into flash graphene, a superconductive additive with multiple potential applications; SRP is expanding this process and increasing volumes to scale it up.
