The dispatchable demand framework helps evaluate if an opportunity is viable
The dispatchable demand framework has three pillars to help assess if a business opportunity is viable. Business models should match the level of capabilities needed with the current and expected state of the energy market and be ready to adapt as energy costs and market conditions change. The framework does not guarantee all opportunities are a sure bet, but it helps entrepreneurs and investors think though some of the challenges with deploying those use cases right now that aren’t being considered fully and realize what would be required to make them viable with low-cost extra electricity.
Dispatchable
- Adaptable to season fluctuations
- Agile capital structure
- Energy use higher than material and people cost
- Variable talent capacity
Decentralized
- Near or co-located with renewable generation
- Strategy for on-site collaboration
- Distributed economies of scale
Digital
- Real-time reaction to market prices
- Digital interoperability with partners
- Human labor disconnected from timing of energy availability
The timeframe for when this will happen depends on the intersecting S-Curves of adoption and decommissioning.

No matter where you are in your journey, you can take steps to accelerate the pace of the energy transition.
