Many retail establishments have been hesitant to participate in Demand Response programs due to the potential for negative impact on customer facing activities.  Although the majority of retailers wish to extract value from these market programs, these concerns have proven a barrier to participation.  Two key factors have created this situation:

• Most customer-facing operations are dependent on continuous, reliable energy supply to maintain their presentation, preparation, and offering of goods and services to support revenue creation and customer satisfaction
• Many retail locations, stand-alone, don’t meet the minimum kW levels to participate in many market programs due to lack of solutions for aggregating their demand
