The Great Lakes Protection Fund is working with WattTime on reducing mercury emissions in the Great Lakes by pairing traditional demand response programs with AER. This combination is shown to drive up consumer participation and environmental benefits, while still delivering financial and reliability outcomes across the value chain.
