01

Virtual Battery Networks (VBN™)

A network of idle and contracted energy capacity, aggregated together across various facilities within a local geographic area, is orchestrated to reduce unused demand and coincident peaks. Businesses create new revenue streams by sharing this unused capacity locally through the VBN™, a continuous optimization engine.

Benefits
  • Strengthen grid reliability with non-wires alternative for utilities
  • Get paid for sharing idle capacity
  • Recoup up to 70% of unused demand charges
  • Boost performance of existing infrastructure by squeezing more flexibility out of it

Virtual Power Plants (VPP)

A network of distributed energy assets, such as standby generators, air conditioners, solar, EVs, and batteries, is coordinated with software to perform as a VPP. Utilities incentivize businesses to support the electric grid when it is most constrained, helping prevent regional blackouts and maintain system reliability.

Benefits
  • Earn revenue by supporting the electric grid
  • Get paid for being on standby in case of a grid emergency
  • Maximize efficiency across your asset portfolio
  • Cut costs by lowering demand during peak periods
  • Strengthen grid reliability with a zero-carbon solution

The Optimize Marketplace enables businesses to identify, manage, optimize and monetize their energy capacity in real-time. This is achieved through our patented peer-to-peer transactive process. Once a business is enrolled in one of COI Energy’s programs, users can set their building on cruise control and allow the virtual energy manager to do the work. The user will be notified with unique alerts when action is required to prevent energy waste and monetize excess energy capacity, even if you choose to automate control. Connect + Insights + Control = Cleaner Buildings

Holistic Approach to Demand Management

  • Temporary Demand Reductions
  • Semi-Permanent Demand Reductions
  • Permanent Demand Reductions

1) Temporary Demand Reductions

Demand Response (DR)
Building owners and operators can earn revenue for temporary reductions in energy demand to support the electric grid or other buildings in need of extra energy capacity. Users leverage their flexible energy capacity without disrupting operations. COI Energy's analytics help businesses maximize flexibility and therefore revenue. Our one-of-a-kind subscription-based pricing model ensures that businesses retain 100% of the revenue generated on the platform, and there are no upfront costs required. As a full-service DR provider, COI Energy helps businesses enroll in all available programs in which their buildings are eligible to participate. The platform offers push-to-play integration to activate DR protocols from your mobile device and automate your load curtailment as you see fit.

Get paid to support grid and building reliability; retain 100% of the revenue. Earnings you can count on.

2) Semi-Permanent Demand Reductions

Load Shifting
Gain insight into your facility’s energy patterns to increase flexibility and shift load to off-peak hours, when utilities charge less for electric power. Because the grid is less constrained during off-peak hours, your energy use will emit fewer greenhouse gases and cost less than during peak times. Take full advantage of Time-of-Day (TOD) rates to save money and protect the grid.
Peak Shaving
Maintain control of your energy performance, waste, and costs. Our demand threshold feature notifies you when your facility has reached a specified demand level (kW) and enables you to prevent avoidable spikes. You minimize demand charges while maintaining the comfort level of your operation.
Why?
Customers are charged by their utility for both consumption (kWh) and demand (kW). Consumption measures the amount of energy you use over time, while demand refers to the amount of energy used at a single point in time. For a utility, this represents the amount of energy that must be generated to meet demand. When there is higher demand, energy becomes more costly and customers incur increased demand charges. Demand charges are calculated based on 15-minute intervals; if your facility hits a demand spike for 15 minutes, your demand charges will reflect this spike for the entire bill period. Load shifting and peak shaving prevent you from hitting unnecessary demand spikes, thereby minimizing demand charges and reducing your electric bills.

Reduce your electric bills. Retain 100% of the savings. Protect the environment with fewer carbon emissions.

3) Permanent Demand Reduction

Energy Efficiency
Receive real-time energy efficiency insights based on 24/7 energy usage patterns. Our holistic energy efficiency suite forecasts buildings’ energy demand, references baseline load, and detects anomalies in energy performance to proactively reduce energy waste and costs.Our algorithm analyzes your building’s energy assets to identify inefficient equipment and recommend opportunities for cost-effective efficiency upgrades. Timely measurements and verification (M&V) ensure that your organization maximizes revenue, incentives, and rebates earned by upgrading to more efficient assets. Take full advantage of our asset registry to gain the most insight into your energy assets’ performance and flexibility. Simply take photos of your equipment, i.e. LEDs, elevator banks, backup generators, and battery storage--and upload them to the COI Energy platform.

Permanently reduce your buildings’ demand by becoming more energy efficient. Monetize efficiency upgrades, excess capacity, and flexibility.
Renewable Energy
Integrate your building’s renewable energy resources under a single dashboard to co-optimize your asset management and decarbonization efforts. Our renewable energy suite tracks the power output of your on-site energy generation and manages the charging and discharging of your on-site energy storage. We let you know when to use your energy on-site, sell it back to the grid, charge your storage elements, and shift your flexible loads to minimize costs and carbon emissions while maximizing revenues. We leverage your renewable energy systems into the electricity market to ensure that your behind-the-meter energy assets earn the full benefits available for contributing to a cleaner grid.
Permanently decarbonize with resilience by installing on-site renewable energy resources. Manage your entire smart energy portfolio with one simple tool.
