Honeywell partners with Enel North America for power grid stability

Honeywell and Enel North America have joined forces to implement demand response programs in commercial and industrial facilities, with the aim of enhancing power grid stability during peak usage periods. This collaboration utilises automation technology to improve grid reliability and mitigate the risk of blackouts.

Hamed Heyhat, President, Honeywell Smart Energy & Thermal Solutions, mentioned the importance of solutions that offer rapid response capabilities for grid stability. He stated, "Through our partnership with Enel North America, we are directly addressing these challenges by providing customers with readily available solutions that not only streamline the integration process but also deliver tangible benefits in terms of efficiency, cost savings, and grid reliability."

This collaboration combines Enel's expertise in demand response with Honeywell's automation systems to offer solutions that enhance energy efficiency, flexibility, and potential revenue generation. It aligns with Honeywell's focus on automation, the future of aviation, and energy transition.

Molly Jerrard, Head- Demand Response, Enel North America, highlighted the economic and operational advantages of the partnership, stating, "The future of energy lies in flexibility. Our modern power grids require end users who can adjust their electricity usage in real time, reducing costs and earning revenue in the process."

"Enel?s FlexUp offering, powered by Honeywell?s industry-leading automation technology, simplifies the process for organisations seeking to maximise their energy flexibility. It also enables us to utilise these flexible loads to support grid reliability for homes, businesses, and communities."

Through this partnership, organisations across various industries, including commercial offices, retail stores, food manufacturing, and farming facilities, can now automate their facility operations without incurring additional costs, significantly enhancing their potential earnings from demand response programmes.
