2008-07-17 07:00:00
Company’s FlexConnectTM
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 FlexConnectTM
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.”
