Collaborating Toward Concrete Solutions

Solteq Utilities Consulting assisted Seiverkot Oy in initiating this assessment.

The preparation included gathering initial data through expert interviews, building a workshop based on this input, analyzing the results of the workshop, and creating and presenting proposed next steps.

During the workshop day, the Utilities Consulting expert first provided Seiverkot staff with an in-depth introduction to the topic of demand response, which helped focus on the actual issues to be addressed.

After the initial briefing and data review, the needs, use cases, and readiness for demand response were clarified through several targeted collaboration sessions.

Clarity for Demand Response and Tools for Decision-Making

 The ultimate goal of the work was to bring clarity to demand response, which at this stage still appeared vague to many.

As a result of the assessment, Seiverkot received concrete action proposals about a month after the start of the project, which the company is now using in its internal decision-making regarding the advancement of demand response.

The success of the project was ensured by a fast start and a clear plan established at the outset for how the overall process would be executed.
