First Tanning Salon Enrolls in Demand Response Program
Buffalo, NY, Jan. 28
Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. (ECS), the largest privately held demand response provider in the country, has enrolled the first tanning chain in their program. Perfect Color Tanning Salon, which has six locations in Long Island, has agreed to participate in ECS’ Operation Save New York in order to earn extra revenue for reducing their energy usage just a few times a year.
When the electric grid is forecast to be unstable, Perfect Color will reduce their electricity usage in order to help prevent blackouts or brownouts.
“Operation Save New York is a great opportunity for our salon to help out the environment and electric grid,” said Darlene Munoz, owner of Perfect Color. “With the extra revenue we earn from ECS we are actually able to use that to rejuvenate our tanning facilities.”
In order to make the most of their participation in Operation Save New York, when an event is called, Perfect Color has decided not only to reduce their electricity usage, but to completely shut down their salons for the duration of the event. Since most of their electricity usage comes from their beds, shutting down the facilities will maximize their revenue.
“We are extremely pleased that Perfect Color Tanning Salon has chosen ECS to provide them with their demand response needs,” said Glen Smith, president, chief executive officer, and co-founder of ECS. “Perfect Color has shown their leadership in the tanning industry by becoming the first such chain to enroll in Operation Save New York.”
