Rainforest Automation and FortisBC Initiate Real-Time Demand Management Project
Rainforest Automation and FortisBC have launched a project aimed at reducing electricity use during peak demand, supported by the Innovative Clean Energy Fund. This initiative focuses on commercial and industrial customers, enhancing system reliability and efficiency.

Rainforest Automation and FortisBC have commenced a project to enhance real-time demand management among commercial and industrial users in the Southern Interior, funded by the Province of British Columbia's Innovative Clean Energy Fund. The aim is to provide customers with real-time visibility into their electricity usage, helping to alleviate pressure during peak demand periods and potentially defer infrastructure expansion.
By integrating demand response programs with real-time data and automation, this project seeks to improve system capacity and maintain affordable electricity rates. The collaboration emphasizes innovative approaches to energy management, crucial for adapting to growing electricity demands.
