BOSTON, MA, August 25, 2009 – EnerNOC, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENOC), a leading provider of clean and intelligent energy solutions, today announced that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved a 110 megawatt demand response contract between EnerNOC and Southern California Edison (SCE). The contract, which was originally announced in June 2008, is effective through 2012.
EnerNOC will supply SCE with up to 110 megawatts of demand response capacity in SCE’s approximately 50,000 square-mile service territory. Capacity under an existing 40 megawatt contract, which expired concurrently with the CPUC approval of the new contract, will be enrolled under the new contract, resulting in a net addition of 70 megawatts of contracted capacity between the parties.
“EnerNOC demand response has proven to be a valuable part of our portfolio mix, and the new contract reflects our commitment to meeting our system needs in a clean, reliable, and cost-effective manner,” said Lawrence M. Oliva, Director of Tariff Programs & Services, Southern California Edison. “In addition, demand response enables our customers to participate more actively in energy markets and earn money for their willingness to curtail at times of peak demand, which helps improve overall satisfaction.”
For example, Oxnard, CA-based Mission Produce receives annual payments of approximately $25,000 for their participation in the program, but the benefits are not simply financial. “Our people know about
EnerNOC and SCE’s demand response program, and why we’re participating in it,” says Jake Nixon, Process Improvement and Project Manager. “They’re really supportive and know that we’re doing it for all the right reasons—not only because it makes sense financially, but also because it’s good for our community.”
“The CPUC's decision reflects the important role that demand response can play in reducing peak demand in SCE's service territory,” said Tim Healy, EnerNOC’s chairman and CEO. “Adding more demand response resources to the state of California further strengthens the State’s commitment to clean, cost-effective, and reliable energy resources. Along with energy efficiency, demand response is the top priority of the California Energy Action Plan’s ‘loading order’.”
During periods of peak demand, SCE will signal EnerNOC to initiate demand response reductions across a network of commercial, institutional, and industrial sites. During a demand response event, EnerNOC monitors performance in real-time from its Network Operations Center to ensure reduction targets are being met.
