It's Time To Shift & Save®

Since 2007, Cypress, Ltd. has teamed up with PG&E to help customers reduce peak demands for power and save money through the Shift & Save® program. Expanding upon its success, additional and proven technologies are now eligible for incentives effective 6/1/2010. Designed to pay incentives based on peak loads permanently shifted (kW) to non-peak times, the total potential payments are as follows:

Shift & Save® will run through 2011 and will enhance power grid reliability while giving PG&E customers - and California - environmental benefits. Unlike Demand Response, which reduces the peak load on specific days when the power grid is at risk of overload, Shift & Save® using PLS technologies permanently removes daily AC peak loads over the entire peak season. A strategic part of PG&E's green energy focus, Shift & Save® helps protect California against rolling blackouts and reduces the need for construction of new generation plants.

Market Qualifications

Using PLS technologies, Shift & Save® allows qualified PG&E customers to install equipment that uses less expensive, less polluting nighttime power to create and store cooling for use the next day. Administered by Cypress, Ltd., the Shift & Save® market qualifications include:

1Ice on Coil - Internal Melt (ICIM)

  • Ice storage system is charged the same way as in the direct contact Ice on Coil
  • Low temperature glycol1 circulates through the coils
  • Unlike direct contact, the water and ice melt do not circulate through the chilled water-cooling loop but rather remain in the container
