M2M Communications Agricultural Demand Response Program Saves Electricity in California • Key Activities • M2M Communications of Boise, Idaho, has developed a two-way, web-to-wireless controller for irrigation pumps. The controller is part of an irrigation load control system that includes sensors, smart meters, and other monitoring equipment. • M2M created the Peak Energy Agricultural Rewards (PEAR) program, a demand response program marketed to agricultural customers of California’s investor owned utilities. • Aims and Strategies • As part of the PEAR program, farmers can earn cash incentives and avoid peak demand charges. • Water consumption and soil moisture can be monitored from a web portal, enabling farmers to make informed decisions about possible participation in peak demand events. • Farmers can schedule irrigation pump start up/shut off, saving water, time, and manpower, and improving overall efficiency. • Results and Benefits • DOE ARRA funds greatly contributed to M2M’s final R&D push to get the controller to market. • PG&E called four peak pricing events in 2011; PEAR program participation reduced summer peak demand by an average of 18 MW per event.
