The Business Energy Management Landscape is Changing – Are You Ready?

Rising demand, aging infrastructure, and unpredictable energy costs are reshaping how companies approach business energy management. You need smarter, scalable power solutions that work today and evolve with tomorrow. This is where DERMS comes in. 
 

WHAT IS DERMS?

DERMS is our Distributed Energy Resource Management System, also known as Cat® AMP. By incorporating Cat AMP technology into your existing or new energy assets, you can monitor, control, and optimize your energy assets such as generators, battery storage, or renewables, to reduce costs and improve reliability, strengthening your overall energy management strategy.

What is Cat® AMP?

Caterpillar's Active Management Platform (Cat AMP) can be added to your existing or new power assets as a complete business energy management platform that lowers your overall energy costs, allows access to additional revenue streams, and gives you peace of mind that you'll always have power ready on your site.
 

HOW CAT AMP WORKS

When Cat AMP technology is paired with your power assets, you can save 20-30% on your energy costs and ensure you experience minimal downtime. Additionally, when your power assets are not providing backup power to your site, with Cat AMP, they can participate in different energy programs – providing additional income streams for your business.

When power consumption is high and energy costs soar, Cat AMP can automatically dispatch onsite assets (also known as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) so your facility is not entirely running on grid power.

Energy Management in Industries

Energy management looks different across every industry – a hospital's priorities aren't a data center's, and a municipality's aren't a manufacturer's. But the underlying pressures are shared: rising demand, aging infrastructure, volatile energy costs, and growing sustainability mandates are forcing leadership teams everywhere to treat energy as a strategic line item, not just a utility bill.
 

UNDERSTANDING PEAK DEMAND CHARGES

One of the most overlooked line items on a commercial energy bill is the peak demand charge – a fee based on the highest amount of power your facility draws at once, not just how much energy you use overall. For C-suite leaders managing multi-site operations, these charges can represent a significant and avoidable cost. Cat AMP's Peak Management feature (below) automatically dispatches on-site assets to help reduce these spikes.
