CPower to help business customers reduce electricity demand during peak hours<\/h3>\n

Leading curtailment service provider to provide commercial and industrial demand response resources to meet PA Act 129 state-mandated load reduction targets<\/em><\/p>\n

BALTIMORE, Md. (Jan\u00a018, 2016)<\/strong>\u00a0–<\/p>\n

CPower, a leading provider of demand-side energy management services to commercial and industrial customers, today announced it has been selected by FirstEnergy\u2019s (NYSE: FE) Pennsylvania utilities to provide PA Act 129 demand response services during peak hours in the Met-Ed, Penn Power and West Penn Power service areas.<\/p>\n

“CPower is excited to provide demand-side resources to help Pennsylvania\u2019s forward-thinking utilities meet the state’s aggressive energy reduction goals and support grid reliability,” said Glenn Bogarde, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, CPower.\u00a0 “We will deliver the best possible solutions for FirstEnergy\u2019s Pennsylvania utilities, working with new and existing commercial and industrial customers to optimize overall energy savings and earnings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demand response programs reward electricity users for reducing consumption when alerted by a utility or independent system operators (ISO) such as PJM Interconnection, the grid operator that services 13 states and the District of Columbia.\u00a0 Those reductions improve the performance of the regional electric grid, particularly during hot summer months or deep winter chills when energy usage increases. Participants are compensated based on how much electric load they commit to curtail when notified by the utility about a peak demand event during periods of potential grid stress conditions.<\/p>\n

This Commercial and Industrial Demand Response Program will be offered during the summer months (June \u2013 September) of the Act 129 program delivery years starting in 2017 until 2020.\u00a0 The program is unique in that it allows for enrollment in addition to existing PJM programs, increasing the financial incentives available to participants. CPower will launch the program on June 1, 2017, and is currently recruiting participants for the 2017 performance season.

About PA Act 129<\/strong><\/p>\n

On October 15, 2008, House Bill 2200 was signed into law as Pennsylvania Act 129 (PA Act 129). The Act expanded the energy efficiency responsibilities of the Public Utility Commission (PUC) and imposed new requirements on the state\u2019s electric utilities with goals of reducing energy consumption and demand, among others. Phase I required utilities with more than 100,000 customers to reduce MWh consumption by 3 percent and reduce system demand 4.5 percent during peak hours by May 31, 2013.\u00a0 Phase II focused on efficiency targets with no demand reduction component.\u00a0 For Phase III, the PUC determined in its Implementation Order that additional reductions in consumption and demand response were cost-effective and prescribed targets to be met by May 31, 2021. CPower will help several Pennsylvania utilities to meet those targets.
