Ontario IESO with EnergyHub, ecobee, and Renew Home:
"Save on Energy Peak Perks Program"

DATE / TIME: Thursday, September 12, 2024 | 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm ET

Hosted by PLMA's Awards Planning Group

Guest Speakers: Mary Bernard of the Ontario IESO, Sanjay Pai of EnergyHub, Lisa Scott of ecobee, and Vince Faherty of Renew Home

In October 2022, the government of Ontario in Canada issued a directive to its Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to increase investments in energy efficiency and demand management; the lowest-cost ways of meeting system needs. These increased investments enabled additional demand-side management programming, including the "Save on Energy Peak Perks" program. Close coordination between the IESO, service provider EnergyHub, and partners including ecobee and Renew Home (formerly Google Nest) was essential to delivering rapid scale for the Peak Perks program.

The result? Ontario IESO built Canada’s largest VPP in just six months with the capacity to deliver a peak demand reduction of up to 90 MW, equivalent to taking a mid-sized Candian city off the grid during peak times. Join us to learn more about how this program was developed and launched so quickly and effectively, as well as its lessons learned.
