Comverge Delivers More Than 100 Megawatts to NV Energy

Industry's Largest Residential Two-Way Communicating Demand Response Program to Date

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Aug 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ – Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq: COMV), a leading provider of smart grid, demand management and energy efficiency solutions, today announced the successful addition of over 100 megawatts (MW) of demand reduction capacity to NV Energy's demand response programs. In just over two years, Comverge has helped NV Energy build out its existing 20 MW system by an additional 100 MW for a total system size of 120 MW. Comverge and NV Energy expect the system to achieve 140 MW of installed capacity by the end of 2009. This program represents one of the fastest deliveries of a demand response program in the industry; and, represents the largest deployment to date of two-way programmable communicating thermostats.

"This program was the first opportunity for Comverge to take over an existing system and significantly expand and integrate management of numerous demand response assets on behalf of our utility partner. The success of this program, underscored by the record setting 2-year build out of more than an incremental 100 MW of residential and small commercial load reduction, confirms our strong track record of delivering on our commitments to our customers," said Comverge Interim President & CEO, Michael Picchi. "NV Energy has long been a leader in alternative energy and this program speaks to their pledge to deliver creative energy solutions to their customers. It has given them the confidence to invest in advanced metering infrastructure, which will enable them to expand even further on these types of energy efficiency and demand response programs."

Comverge announced its contract with NV Energy to provide an incremental 100 MW of demand response capacity in May 2007. In 2008, the contract was expanded by an additional 20 MW. The program, one of the largest outsourced demand response projects in North America to date, was structured by NV Energy to provide choice and empowerment to its customers through advanced technology and an innovative program designed to facilitate the transition to the smart grid.

"Comverge has demonstrated that it will do whatever it takes to bring value to its shareholders," said Michael Brown, who manages NV Energy's demand response programs. "NV Energy's participation-based program with two-way communicating technology has required significant investment in back-office information technology and construction of new business processes that will translate into a more efficient rollout of demand response over smart grid platforms. Our companies have climbed a steep learning curve over the past two-years and are better positioned to capitalize upon and integrate the multi-vendor platforms that will bring dramatic operational flexibility and cost savings to utilities."
