Demand Response
What is this programme?
Power outages can be costly for plant managers, but demand response programmes offer a solution.
By adjusting energy usage during times of peak demand, your plant can support Ireland's transition to renewable energy.
The installation of an HVO-powered generator will enable the site to take part in demand response with no operational disruption and increase the site's resilience to power outages.
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is an advanced renewable diesel alternative that eliminates up to 90% of net CO2 emissions.
Step-by-Step Process
How demand management works
- Signal Reception: Instruction is sent from the national grid (EirGrid) to CoolPlanet.
- Response Initiation: CoolPlanet communicates directly with your site, ensuring that flexible energy assets are ready to respond to grid demands.
- Action: CoolPlanet handles the entire process, adjusting your site’s power usage by reducing energy consumption or switching to backup generation using sustainable HVO fuel. This is done seamlessly, without any need for manual intervention or disruptions to your operations.
Reward: Your site earns payments for participation in demand response programmes using renewable resources, all without experiencing any operational disruptions and doing it in a sustainable manner.

How a Pharmaceutical Plant Secured Power Supply and is Earning €200k Annually
A pharmaceutical company in Ireland partnered with CoolPlanet to secure its power supply during outages and optimise its energy assets. By integrating two generators and a 1MW battery, the site became electricity-resilient while participating in the Capacity and DS3 markets. This not only ensured continuous operations during power outages but also generated close to €200,000 annually in revenue through demand response programs.
Key Points:
- Revenue: €200k per year
- Assets: Two generators and a 1MW battery
- Market Participation: Capacity and DS3 services
- Outcome: Secured power supply and improved resilience during outages.
