EnerNOC, Inc. : EnerNOC Selected to Implement Automated Demand Response Program for Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities Company

SAN ANTONIO, TX and BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/24/12DistribuTECH conference (Booth #4029) that it will implement an automated demand response (AutoDR) program for Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities Company (LG&E and KU). As the program implementer in this three-year agreement, EnerNOC will collaborate with LG&E and KU to recruit and enroll a set of the utility's commercial customers to participate in demand response. LG&E and KU will also have the ability to access customized dashboards and reports through EnerNOC's™. These Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools will allow the utility to dispatch, monitor, and measure performance of demand response resources throughout its service territory.

"As our customers' trusted energy adviser, we recognize that many businesses are looking to save money by saving energy. Demand response is a great opportunity to do that, and it provides an important service to the grid," said David Huff, director of Customer Energy Efficiency and Smart Meter Strategy. "We value the ability to have real-time visibility into demand response resource performance, and we think our commercial customers will appreciate EnerNOC's AutoDR technology, user-friendly software, and deep expertise in demand response program implementation."

LG&E and KU serve nearly one million electric customers across more than 90 counties in Kentucky and Virginia. Through this program, LG&E and KU and EnerNOC will focus specifically on commercial customers who are able to shed non-essential electricity usage temporarily in exchange for incentive payments from the utility. As the program implementer, EnerNOC will work with building staff at each participating site to create a customized energy curtailment plan that maximizes energy reduction opportunities with minimal impact on business operations. Common strategies include raising thermostat settings by a few degrees, changing ventilation patterns, or cutting back on non-essential lighting.

In addition, EnerNOC will provide LG&E and KU on-site metering and communications equipment that allows utility staff to monitor demand response resources in real time through EnerNOC's SaaS interface. These secure, web-based tools provide customized, real-time dispatch and reporting functionality that will enable LG&E and KU to deploy resources when and where they are needed. In addition, participating businesses will have access to similar tools through DemandSMART, which can be used to monitor and maximize their curtailment opportunities, and in turn, their program participation payments. DemandSMART offers customers real-time energy usage data both during and outside of curtailment events, which helps with the identification of additional energy savings opportunities.

"In a difficult economic climate, many businesses are looking for ways to control costs and create new sources of revenue. Demand response meets both of those needs, and automation makes the process even more seamless," said Tim Healy, Chairman and CEO of EnerNOC. "Our engineers have enabled more than 11,000 customer sites to participate in demand response, and we look forward to working with LG&E and KU to bring the benefits of AutoDR to their customers."
