Two large Texas energy users recently shared how much revenue they have earned for improving grid reliability. In separate public events, CPower recently presented San Jacinto College and the Houston Independent School District (HISD) with more than $160,000 in demand response revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cHISD and San Jacinto College exemplify how schools and educational institutions<\/a> of all levels can make money while keeping the lights on for their communities by reducing loads when demand peaks on the grid,\u201d said James Vasquez, Account Executive, Texas, for CPower.<\/p>\n

Both customers participate in Texas grid services programs<\/a> available through the state\u2019s grid operator, Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). HISD and San Jacinto College\u2019s most recent earnings came from ERCOT\u2019s Emergency Response Services (ESR) program, which pays customers for being available to curtail their electricity loads within 10 or 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

San Jacinto College<\/a> received a \u201cbig check\u201d for $48,000 for the ERS 2023 Summer Season. The college has five campuses in metropolitan Houston and has earned a total of $434,000 since it enrolled in demand response in February 2016.<\/p>\n

The college began working with CPower in late 2022, after a turnover in key facility personnel, Vasquez said. At the time, the college was enrolled for 400 kW between two buildings. After several discussions, including a site visit by a CPower engineer, the college increased its demand response participation by 2,600 kW across nine more buildings.<\/p>\n

Depending on the season, San Jacinto College now has 2-3 MW enrolled in demand response. Currently, it is enrolled in the ERS Winter Season (December 2023-March 2024) with a projected revenue payout of $75,000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Houston Independent School District<\/h2>\n

CPower presented Houston Independent School District<\/a> with a “big check” for $114,753, which reflected its combined earnings from enrollment in CenterPoint Energy and ERS Summer Season (June-September) demand response programs. \u201cWe were told that this check represented the salaries for two teachers\u2014plus more,\u201d Vasquez said.<\/p>\n

With more than 189,934 students and 274 schools across 333 square miles within greater Houston, HISD is the largest public school system in Texas<\/a> and the eighth largest in the nation. Fourteen percent of the district\u2019s buildings are enrolled in ERS.<\/p>\n

HISD has been paid approximately $200,000 since it started participating in demand response in October 2021. It is projected to receive another $44,000 in revenue for the ERS Winter Season that ends in March.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HISD and San Jacinto College are just two examples of large Texas energy users benefiting from helping the grid while ensuring the comfort and safety of their students and faculty. In addition to the ERS program, ERCOT offers a mix of other grid services opportunities for commercial, industrial and institutional customers in Texas, including different ways to reduce energy charges and earn revenue.<\/p>\n
