The 5th Annual Flex Your Power Awards

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Demand Response Honorable Mention

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) has managed to find a way to shed peak demand while still providing the same high level of care for their marine exhibits. Through careful staggering of pump cycles and pump calibration during energy events, the aquarium has been able to shed up to 348 kW, or 26% of their load. Across all energy events, the average load reduction was 11%. MBA's actions earned the facility Pacific Gas & Electric's (PG&E) Golden Orb Award.
