EnerNOC, Inc., a leading developer and provider of clean and intelligent energy solutions, and the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) announced today the formation of a partnership that will enable water agencies throughout California to enroll in EnerNOC's demand response programs.
“This partnership validates our extensive experience meeting the unique needs of water agencies and helping them to generate additional cash flow by participating in demand response,” said Timothy Healy, EnerNOC chairman and CEO. “We look forward to working closely with ACWA to help more water agencies take advantage of demand response and to add more megawatts to EnerNOC’s expanding network.”
Through its “Preferred Provider” Program, ACWA selects third party vendors that offer products and services at high value to its member agencies. Preferred providers must undergo extensive review, exhibit unique or demonstrably better value, and provide a high level of customer service.
“After several of our member agencies came to us with high praise for EnerNOC, we recognized that EnerNOC could help more of our members become better energy consumers,” explained ACWA Executive Director Timothy Quinn in his support. “EnerNOC impressed us with its depth of knowledge, its commitment to our industry, and its ability to help our members identify the best ways to maximize their participation in demand response.”
Through EnerNOC’s “Clean Green California” demand response program, water agencies and other businesses that operate throughout the Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric service territories are called upon to reduce their energy use during times of peak demand, alleviating stress on the electricity grid and, in some cases, eliminating the need for utilities to rely on coal-burning peaking power plants. Companies that participate in EnerNOC’s Clean Green California program can enroll in the program at no material expense, receive financial incentives for their participation, are supported technically during demand response events, and help energy infrastructure in California to be used more efficiently.
EnerNOC made its ACWA debut at the Spring Conference in Monterey, California in May.
