GridBeyond Joins Chemical Industries Association to Support Businesses in Navigating Complex Energy Markets

GridBeyond, the global leader in intelligent energy technology for industrial and commercial businesses, has joined the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) as an associate member. The company supports chemical and pharmaceutical businesses in improving their bottom line through new revenues and savings, and enhancing their sustainability credentials. This is achieved by enabling energy services, including energy market participation, without any capital expenditure or impact on operational integrity.

GridBeyond works alongside large energy users, including some of the planet’s best-loved brands, to deliver demand response revenues, enhanced savings, strengthened operations and energy performance via the award-winning AI Point platform. The company harnesses the power of technology to connect I&C businesses, such as those in the chemical industry, and their energy intensive assets, such as cooling towers and extruders, on-site generation and energy storage to financially rewarding programmes.

Michael Phelan, Chief Executive and Co-founder at GridBeyond, commented:

Due to the type of assets used by chemical and pharmaceutical producers and manufacturers, they are ideally positioned to benefit from participation in grid balancing services. Cooling towers, compressors, pumps, extruders and on-site generators such as CHP provide significant volumes of energy flexibility, which, once monetised through collaboration with National Grid, can benefit the business with an additional revenue stream of up to £100k per MW.

Mike Lancaster, Head of Regional Affairs and Associate Member Account Manager at the Chemical Industries Association, commented:
