Typically the grid is most vulnerable weekdays in the early afternoon so if your facility's peak electricity demands are weekday mornings, late afternoons, evenings or weekends the potential for natural
curtailment is substantial. By nature a hotel's electricity demands are minimal in the early afternoon when guests are usually out or before they have checked in. This positions a hotel to more actively
participate by shutting off air conditioners, etc. Simply utilize natural lighting where available, make use of on-site generation or your energy management system if so equipped to
shed electricity demand. Avoid using commercial style cafeteria or laundry equipment during the event, turn off lights in non-essential areas, consider shutting down one elevator bank when multiple banks
exist and adjust air conditioning temperature settings, in common areas and unoccupied rooms, only slightly to enhance your natural curtailment head start. This will enhance your participation and
maximize the dollars earned.
