** GRHU reported that it has been engaged to implement Southern California Edison's (SCE) Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) program for the Brea location of Beckman Coulter, a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher.
The Auto-DR program offers significant financial incentives and technical support to Southern California Edison (SCE) customers willing to install equipment that enables participation in demand response events versus depending on their employees to perform all the curtailment activities manually when required. Normally, control systems (automation) are installed with the programming needed to achieve reductions in electricity consumption during peak periods of demand on the grid.
GRHU has identified and will utilize over $175,000 of incentives from SCE, which Beckman Coulter will be eligible for, to implement Demand Response technologies.
GRHU, a leading provider of energy efficiency and sustainable facilities solutions, is a qualified service provider of SCE's Auto-DR program, providing site assessment, feasibility studies, project development, engineering, and installation of enabling technologies including complete processing of all utility documents.
