Massachusetts-based EnerNOC has received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to provide demand response services to Southern California Edison (SCE). EnerNOC will provide SCE with 110MW of demand response capacity. The contract was initially announced in June last year and will run through until the end of 2012.
"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," says SCE director of tariff programs and services, Lawrence Oliva. "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."
EnerNOC will carry out demand response reduction across a network of commercial, institutional and industrial sites during periods of peak demand. In June, the firm paid an undisclosed sum to acquire carbon management software firm eQuilibrium Solutions.
