Roadstone Ltd, part of building materials group CRH, is one of the globe’s major suppliers of construction aggregates, ready mixed concrete, and a host of other related products. They operate from more than 50 quarries throughout the Republic of Ireland.

Participation in demand response provides Roadstone with a sizeable revenue stream but without risk of economic penalities if they opt out due to production needs. 

When called, engineers have between 30 and 60 minutes to follow the agreed-upon strategy, shutting down or scaling back machinery around the site.  On many occasions the energy manager uses the call to turn down to perform maintenance tasks on machinery.
