About Us

The Bottom Line: EnergyConnect empowers energy managers and facility operators to control their own energy bills and earn revenue. If your organization is not in a Demand Response program, it’s time to contact us to learn more about your share of the millions of dollars in incentives available for organizations willing to help stabilize grid emergencies and high wholesale electricity prices during peak demand periods.

EnergyConnect delivers industry-leading Smart Demand Response technologies and services to commercial, educational, municipal and industrial consumers enabling them to better manage their use of electricity in response to market prices or regional power shortages. The EnergyConnect technology platform provides a scalable, cost-effective, clean technology to enhance the grid’s efficiency and reliability. The majority of facilities (such as college campuses, high-rise office buildings, shopping centers, manufacturing and industrial plants) already have the potential to realize economic benefit from the energy used in their facilities every day. EnergyConnect takes care of all the registration and payment paperwork for you. Through EnergyConnect’s tools, organizations connect their energy use to substantial cost savings and cash incentives.

With EnergyConnect, organizations control when they reduce, the power they shed, the costs they save and the money they make through financial opportunities available in event-based and voluntary curtailment programs. Learn More

Not only does EnergyConnect enable organizations to control costs and create revenue, we make it easy to do so and with “green” benefits. Utilizing demand response in place of new generation, expensive temporary peak power plants will not be used and therefore less greenhouse gas emissions are released into the atmosphere. With comprehensive reporting tools, streamlined communication and accounting processes, EnergyConnect allows organizations, partners and affiliates to engage a large portfolio of progressive solutions that harness energy consumption for economic, efficient and environmental benefit.

Electricity Costs Should Rise to Reflect Demand
Steven Chu, U.S. Secretary of Energy
 
“As the United States’ power grid becomes more sophisticated, electricity rates will need to rise to reflect periods of intense energy use and to encourage consumers to change their electricity habits.” Chu said currently most local electricity rate commissions view themselves as consumer advocates and try to keep electricity prices as low as possible. “Hopefully that will evolve somewhat, so that they begin to fold in some of the real costs of electricity generation and electricity use.” But Chu cautioned that adjusting prices alone will not modify the way consumers use energy. “Price signals do matter, but you can’t just simply use a price signal,” Chu said. “You really have to make it very easy to save energy. Consumers need to have a very simple system that will provide them with specific information about their energy use and they should be able to adjust their appliances (equipment) so that they run mostly during non-peak energy hours.” Demand response is considered the “killer app” to the smart grid, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
