How Evergy’s Grid Resiliency Program Unlocks DR Capacity During Critical Peaks
Traditional demand response (DR) programs only reach enrolled customers. Evergy partnered with Uplight and ecobee to launch a Grid Resiliency program that addresses this limitation—dispatching all ecobee thermostats in their service territory during critical peak times.
The program activates during critical grid moments in summer and winter seasons, with transparent and clear customer notifications.
