Comverge Announces 40-Megawatt C&I Demand Response Contract with Southern California Edison

All Three Large Investor-Owned Utilities in California now have VPC Contracts with Comverge, Totaling Approximately 200 Megawatts

EAST HANOVER, N.J., June 3, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq: COMV), a leading clean capacity provider through demand response and energy efficiency, announced today they have entered into a new contract with Southern California Edison (SCE) to implement a Virtual Peaking Capacity(R) (VPC) program of up to 40 megawatts. The program will utilize demand response resources from SCE's commercial and industrial customers to provide the utility with capacity and energy resources for a term of four years.

Under the VPC program, Comverge will build, operate and maintain a demand response system designed to improve electricity reliability during times of peak usage. This fully outsourced, pay-for-performance program allows SCE to call upon needed capacity under the contract that can be dispatched throughout SCE's service territory.

"Southern California Edison relies on innovative companies such as Comverge. We appreciate technology that further enhances the reliability of the electric grid, and helps our company meet its goals of providing cleaner, greener energy solutions," said Lisa Cagnolatti, SCE vice president, business customer division.

The Comverge VPC program is designed to grow with the needs of SCE and help make the region's existing demand response resources more efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly. This program and contract was restructured pursuant to the California Public Utilities Commission's earlier decision, where the Commission initially denied the original contract as submitted, but recommended the parties resubmit a new agreement as part of the SCE's application for demand response programs in development. This new agreement remains subject to regulatory approval.

"Demand Response is a key clean energy component to any utility's resource plan," said Robert M. Chiste, Chairman, President and CEO. "Our new commercial and industrial program in SCE's territory is designed to provide a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution to peaking and emergency energy situations in Southern California. We look forward to working together with SCE and their customers to meet California's growing energy capacity needs."
