Stanley Works - Helping Meet ISO-NE Capacity Needs - In Every Way Possible

摘要

In late 2006, Stanley Works, a producer, manufacturer and marketer of top-quality tools, was contacted by ConsumerPowerline to enroll its Connecticut manufacturing facilities in demand response programs offered by the Independent System Operator of New England (ISO-NE). ISO-NE, as part of its commitment to promoting regional grid sustainability, offers programs that provide significant financial incentives for end users of electricity to curtail -- or reduce -- their electricity during times of electric grid stress, high electricity prices or emergency situations. These range from programs that require participants to curtail within 30 minutes of notification, to a Demand Response Reserves program, currently in its pilot phase, which requires participants to curtail within 10 minutes, but has much shorter events.
