EnergyConnect, Inc. Expands Demand Response Offerings to New England

Provides New England Customers with More Demand Response Opportunities

PORTLAND, Ore.–(EMWNews)–EnergyConnect, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microfield Group, Inc.

(MICG.OB), and industry leader in innovative demand response

technologies, today announced that it is expanding its FlexConnect^TM

platform to the New England market.

EnergyConnect’s cutting-edge platform enables

large electricity consumers to earn money by voluntarily curtailing

power usage in response to high market pricing or regional shortages.

The FlexConnect platform helps create a more efficient and reliable

power grid, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating

additional profit for participating companies.

“New England businesses are exposed to some of

the highest electricity prices in the country,”

said Steve Schaefer, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at

EnergyConnect. “Our FlexConnect platform has

been wildly successful in the PJM grid, particularly in the

Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Chicago metro areas.”

The EnergyConnect FlexConnect platform differs from traditional demand

response offerings in that it allows customers to make informed,

automated decisions about when to engage in electricity load shifting or

curtailment, based both on the company’s

operational flexibility and on up-to-the-minute value of demand response

on the open market.

“Our FlexConnect platform enables customers to

minimize their total energy costs and generate recurring revenue by

voluntarily engaging in demand response on their terms, when the time

and pricing is right for them,” added

Schaefer. “We expect our offering to be a

much more attractive alternative for customers than the traditional

energy curtailment programs previously available in the New England

region.”
