DR Max · Demand Response Program

Demand response that pays you 90%.
Most programs don't.

DR Max is a demand response program: the grid pays your facility to trim load for a few event hours a year, and you keep 90% of every dollar it earns. Already enrolled through an aggregator? Switching to DR Max's flat 10% take rate typically captures 10-25% more revenue from the same events. California is enrolling now, five more markets are pre-enrolling for 2027, and everywhere else has a direct utility path. Find yours on the map.

Direct Utility Participation: outside the six markets there is no open program to pre-enroll in, so participation runs through the utility instead. Customers, third-party providers, and communities can take demand response to their electric utility's programs, into the energy market where one operates, or into the regulatory proceedings that decide what gets offered. DemandQ works those paths with you.

Why Join Now

First come, first served.

01
First in line, first online

Pre-enrollment order sets onboarding order. As each utility certifies DR Max, we work the list top to bottom. Facilities that pre-enrolled early start earning while everyone else is still filling out forms.

02
Zero commitment

Pre-enrolling reserves a spot, not a signature. We verify your facility's program eligibility while you wait, and you decide whether to enroll when your market opens.

03
The same split, every market

Keep 90% of your demand response revenue wherever DR Max operates: one flat 10% take rate. No setup fees, no minimums, no long-term lock-in. The economics don't change when the map does.

Pre-enroll now, or switch when your contract is up. We time the cutover and run the handoff.
