Reliance Infrastructure today said it has tied up with US-based Innovari Inc for the pilot implementation of the Automatic Demand Response (ADR) programme in its licensed distribution area.
"RInfra's high-end consumers can now voluntarily control their unwarranted power consumption and reduce their monthly electricity bills," the company said in a statement.
By the use of this programme, the consumers can reduce power wastages or unwanted power consumption during peak hours; earn incentives for participating in the programme and reduce their monthly electricity bills, it added.
"We are pleased to launch ADR programme for our Mumbai consumers. They can now plan and reduce unwarranted energy usage at their premises which will facilitate balancing the electric demand during peak hours.
"Industrial, commercial and heavy-use residential categories will now be able to save up to 20% on their billing," said Lalit Jalan, CEO, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd.
This would help in reducing spiking power procurement costs. All these will overall reduce desired power consumption during peak hour resulting in reduction in bills, he added.
