Award Winner
Semitropic Water Storage District

Semitropic Water Storage provides irrigation water for 140,000 acres in Kern County. The large amount of energy required to pump and move this water allowed them to be effective participants in EnerNOC's Clean Green California demand response program. By curtailing activity during demand response events Semitropic has been able to cut peak load by a max of 6.5 mW, or 63%. By using EnerNOC's automated technology Semitropic has become a reliable participant in demand response events without increasing workload on employees. They are also taking other steps to reduce their impact including installing 1 mW of solar panels and dedicating 4,000 acres to wildlife preservation.
