Comverge Praises New Energy Legislation Marking Major Milestone for Clean Energy Solutions

East Hanover, NJ - December 18, 2007: Comverge, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMV), the leading clean capacity provider through demand response and energy efficiency, announced today they are strategically positioned to take full advantage of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 passed by Congress today. The comprehensive energy legislation is expected to benefit Comverge's core business sectors that focus on reducing peak and baseload electricity use through innovative demand response tools, smart grid technologies, and energy efficiency.

Among the many favorable provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 are:

• A "National Action Plan" for Demand Response;
• A national commitment to "smart grid" technologies;
• A requirement that every state ensure that it promotes energy efficiency by providing the proper economic rewards and by removing regulatory and management disincentives (commonly known in the trade as "decoupling"); and
• A requirement that every state consider offering demand response programs to reduce peak electricity consumption.

Robert M. Chiste, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comverge, stated, "This energy bill marks a major turning point in the economics of clean energy solutions. For the first time, our federal government has acted decisively on a national energy policy demonstrating that it is getting serious about ensuring that investments in clean energy solutions are rewarded on a par with power plants. When we align our economic incentives with our environmental imperatives, clean energy solutions win every time. We look forward to this extraordinary new chapter in clean energy policy, which marks a critical next step for Demand Response, new Smart Grid technologies, and Energy Efficiency, the core of Comverge's perfectly positioned businesses."

Title V of the Act requires a national assessment of 5 and 10 year Demand Response potential, new policy recommendations to achieve this potential, options for funding and incentives, and a "National Action Plan on Demand Response." Comverge, Inc. believes that the policy requirement that "each state regulatory authority [consider] offering demand response programs" will stimulate the use of new in-home and smart grid technologies.

Title XIII of the Act requires advanced technologies for Demand Response, energy efficiency, smart metering, and distributed generation, including digital information capabilities to implement these technologies. This includes a smart grid policy using a national task-force, modernization through deployment of "smart" technologies, a new communications and an inter-operability framework, research and development, and removal of the barriers to smart grid roll-out. Federal grants and matching funds will be offered to spur smart grid investments. Each state is required to consider investments in smart grid investments based on cost-effectiveness, reliability, performance, societal benefit, and is encouraged to provide rate recovery for these investments.
