Interruptible & on-site generator program

This program is offered to commercial members who can reduce their connected load to zero during times of peak electric demand. While most members use backup diesel generators to achieve zero load on the electric grid, it is not necessary if the member’s business allows for shutting down their operations during a load control event.

During a load control event, Wright-Hennepin (WH) automatically starts the member’s generator, taking their electric demand off the power grid. At the conclusion of a load control event, WH returns the customer’s electric load back to the regular distribution system and shuts down the generator.

For members without backup generation, manually reducing your load to zero through voluntary curtailment also qualifies your business for this rate.

The interruptible and on-site generator program provides an opportunity to lower power costs, and provides critical onsite backup power.
