Home Manager
• An energy management solution that allows CPS Energy to control our load management resources as if it was a peaking plant
• Load management information for all program participants is aggregated into a single dashboard that CPS Energy uses to view the aggregation of all consumers’ energy usage displayed in the form of available load
• During times of peak demand, CPS Energy initiates curtailment events to reduce coincident peak demand
