The ClimateResponse® App enables customers to participate in utility demand response programs that reward facilities for reducing electricity use during periods of high grid demand. Enroll in programs such as Arizona Public Service (APS) Flex Solutions and High Priority Program, San Diego Gas & Electric’s Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP) and Southern California Edison’s Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP) to earn incentives while helping maintain a stable and resilient energy grid.
