Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Transformation of commercial buildings into flexible energy assets that can sell excess power (from solar/cogen) back to the grid or shed load during peak pricing events.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Turns Real Estate into Energy Infrastructure. Instead of viewing energy as a sunk cost, this model treats the building's load and generation as a tradable commodity, creating a new revenue stream (Grid Services)."

warning The Challenge

Buildings consume massive power but are passive consumers. They pay peak pricing during grid stress. Meanwhile, the grid needs flexibility to handle intermittent renewables. Buildings with onsite generation (solar/CHP) were wasting excess power because they lacked the software to trade with the grid.

psychology The Solution

Installed a localized energy management platform. It connects to onsite generation (Cogeneration/Solar) and flexible loads (HVAC/Pumps). It predicts grid pricing peaks. During high prices, it ramps up onsite generation and ramps down consumption, selling the net difference back to the utility (ConEd) as a Virtual Power Plant.
