CONFIDENTIAL - All Rights Reserved (C) 2016. Reactive Technologies Limited/Finland OY.

We are a UK based energy tech company providing advanced communications, monitoring and optimisation solutions for

businesses, generators and network operators.

We are fortunate to be backed by two prominent investors in clean tech:

Partner logo UK Energy System Challenge

• Renewables are set to grow from 19% in 2014 to 30 - 50% in 2030

• Supply will be less flexible as coal plants shut down by 2025

• Coal currently provides 1.8GW of flexibility – this will need to be replaced by greater flexibility on the demand side


Future Energy Scenarios 2015, National Grid

Partner logo Opportunity for Energy Managers

• National Grid expects to invest up to £400 million in DSR by 2020 – businesses can get a cut of this revenue

• National Grid is regularly releasing new, exciting DSR products

• Any business that is half-hourly metered and has electrical equipment or backup generators that can be turned on/off or ramped up/down for short periods of time can participate

Partner logo Energy Management 2.0

Energy Management has made great leaps and bounds, but the new frontier is here in the form of demand side response (DSR)

Traditional Energy Management + DSR = Energy Management 2.0

By integrating DSR in to your energy management strategy, you can contribute to a greener energy system while earning money and

offsetting your increasing energy bill


Partner logo DSR: What Your CFO Needs to Know

• Zero cost: No set up fees to participate in DSR

• Non-intrusive: No impact on the day-to-day running of your business

• New income stream: Guaranteed payment for your energy flexibility

• Boosted sustainability credentials: Contribute towards lower carbon emissions


Partner logo No Cost to Your Business

• There is no fee to sign up to DSR

• Asset and protocol agnostic, so you don’t need to invest in costly asset upgrades to participate

• No dedicated DSR hardware required as communication can happen directly with your controls


Partner logo No Impact on Your Operations

• DSR can fit around your operations schedule

• Assets can be automatically dispatched according to pre-agreed parameters

• Extra health checks can be carried out for your assets, so you know they’re operating at peak performance

Partner logo Money for Your Flexibility

• An average supermarket can earn over £10,000 by participating in DSR per year.

• There are over 25 types of DSR options. A DSR solution provider should simplify DSR by seamlessly optimising your flexibility across the right opportunities for your business, ensuring you get the greatest value possible


Partner logo Improved Carbon Credentials

• Traditional energy management is a great start, but there’s more value to be extracted

• By adding DSR to your energy management arsenal, you can contribute to a greener energy system while you earn money

• You can reinvest this new revenue stream to enhance your energy management strategy or offset your increasing energy bill


Partner logo DSR Checklist

Select a DSR solution provider that can work with your supplier, not against them, to leverage value for you

Ensure that you compare like-for-like with DSR quotes by asking for opportunity values to be itemised

Remember that in addition to energy consuming assets, energy generation assets, such as energy storage, can also participate in DSR

Select a provider that does not require hardware installation to minimise start up time and avoid unnecessary cost
