Energy5 OpenADR

What is OpenADR?

OpenADR is a two-way data exchange model that facilitates Automated Demand Response actions to help balance grid demand and supply, mitigating high electricity costs. Simply put, OpenADR allows businesses to reduce electricity use during “demand response” events automatically. In the case of EV Charging infrastructure, OpenADR is a bridge between the end user, chargers, and power provider. Combined with OCPP, OpenADR helps minimize electricity expenses, making your EV Charging network more adaptable and cost-effective.

Why is OpenADR important?

OpenADR has the potential to help EV Charging network owners gain complete control over the cost of electricity. Being more adaptable and responsive during peak demand times helps save money by automatically reducing energy usage. Combining OpenADR and OCPP turns one’s EV Charging network into a valuable asset that strengthens the grid and reduces electricity expenses.

Benefits for EV Charging
network owners

Mitigate the impact of CPP (Critical Peak Pricing) events

CPP events can dramatically increase the cost of kWh. OpenADR automatically reduces usage during those events and minimizes the pricing impact.

Maximize utility incentives

With many utilities providing incentives for installing OpenADR-based systems, purchasing OpenADR-certified EV Charging stations may allow the site hosts to benefit from peak demand reduction benefits.

Increase business value

Energy5’s OpenADR-based chargers allow business owners to control their EV Charging network better, maximizing the value it brings, increasing revenue, and reducing electricity consumption during peak demand times.
