EnerNOC, Inc. is a leading developer and provider of clean and intelligent energy solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers, as well as electric power grid operators and utilities. Our technology-enabled demand response and energy management solutions help optimize the balance of electric supply and demand. Rising peak demand creates unprecedented challenges in today’s energy industry: escalating electricity costs, uncertain grid reliability, and an increased risk of rolling blackouts or brownouts. Demand response, the voluntary reduction of electric demand at the end-use customer level in response to electric grid instability or high wholesale electricity prices, substantially lowers peak demand and helps stabilize the grid.
EnerNOC’s Network Operations Center (NOC) builds and manages a network between end-use customer assets and the electric grid that curtails commercial, institutional, and industrial load when utilities and grid operators face supply constraints. This load curtailment provides valuable “negawatts” that relieve the grid by reducing electric demand instead of adding generation capacity. EnerNOC’s Negawatt Network™ achieves the same effect as a peaking power plant—at significantly lower costs and with no incremental carbon emissions—and helps ensure reliable and affordable power to all rate-payers. EnerNOC pays participating businesses and organizations for agreeing to reduce demand, regardless of whether or not the need arises. EnerNOC’s energy expertise, award-winning technology, and operational excellence establish the company as a premier demand response and energy management solutions provider.
