Rising prices, pressure on performance and a desire to reduce energy, gas and water consumption is placing an increased focus on energy efficiency and linking customers through demand response programs.
When coupled with rising demand and lack of new plant construction, energy efficiency will play an increasing role as a critical management tool for utilities and the clients they serve.
The advent of new technology is taking energy efficiency to new levels as smart grid, smart meters (AMI) and load control devices become the norm. Whether it is program design and management, technology and vendor selection or analytics to compare energy efficiency programs, Halcrow has the professionals with years of experience. The critical nature of today’s demand side resources makes the selection of a support team among the most important a utility will face.
Whether it is developing a gas energy efficiency program like that for Public Service of New Mexico, doing a best practices study, managing the marketing of an energy efficiency program or understanding the reliability of demand response technologies, Halcrow brings an experienced team to bear on the project.
