Energy Demand-side Management

Marbek has a solid foundation and track record in researching, analyzing and recommending energy demand-side management (DSM) solutions – energy conservation, efficiency and load management – at any scale and in all sectors. Our related work includes:

• DSM policy: Research, feasibility, planning, design and assessment of government policy
• DSM programs and initiatives: Research, feasibility, design, delivery and assessment of initiatives for governments, associations, utilities, companies and facilities
• DSM projects: Opportunity assessment for individual facilities

We have also emerged as Canada’s undisputed leader in helping energy utilities build realistic and defensible forecasts of the achievable energy and capacity savings potential in their service territories. This type of analysis, sometimes known as a Conservation Potential Review (CPR), helps clients design programs to promote more energy-efficient technologies and energy-conserving behavior so utilities can meet their customers’ energy needs in a more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner.

Examples:

• British Columbia Electricity Demand-side Management & Renewable Power Potential
• New Brunswick Industrial Energy Efficiency Program
• Natural Gas Demand-side Management Potential
