By offering demand response capacity, Comverge enables commercial and industrial customers to reduce their energy consumption and utilize efficient back-up generation. Aging energy plants, increasing energy usage, and rising global temperatures place strain on utilities' grids and require supplemental capacity. Our technology provides both businesses and utilities a more stable and reliable grid, reduced energy costs, and a cleaner environment.

Our energy and capacity services include:

• Implementation of SCADA-based control systems
• Power system distribution analysis
• System testing, maintenance, replacement or repair
• Engineering design and consulting
• Meter and sub-meter operations
• Maintenance and installation
• Data management and analysis

Demand Response
Comverge's demand response solutions help ease the challenges facing our nation's electricity grid today. Commercial and industrial customers receive a suite of web-based tools designed to manage tactical energy curtailment activities and settle demand response events. Participants can maintain and continually refine energy management strategies by aggregating and comparing critical data through a centralized system.

Energy Information
Comverge's energy analysis helps commercial and industrial customers identify areas for improvement in energy usage. By providing information in a clear and detailed format, Comverge eliminates the need to spend hours reviewing financial and energy statements. Our analysts help organizations maximize revenue and minimize energy expenditures by identifying ways to more effectively measure, allocate, and recover utility expenditures.

Synchronized Reserve
Comverge provides participants with a market-based system for the purchase and sale of synchronized reserve ancillary services. This solution provides a unique opportunity for competitive development and investment in the demand response infrastructure. Comverge is equipped to support our commercial and industrial customers by providing a response to energy requirements within 10 minutes.

Commodities Consulting
Comverge investigates the costs and benefits associated with various pricing and demand response program strategies. Our analysts review market trends, provide analysis and recommendations, and help customers evaluate any energy issues and opportunities currently facing their business.

Asset Control

Through asset control, Comverge helps businesses manage the risk associated with market volatility by providing customers with important financial and energy data.

Energy Efficiency
The efficient use of energy is a critical to a successful bottom line. Despite best efforts, organizations often do not have the capabilities to evaluate or understand the energy-related data necessary for optimizing energy usage. Comverge's energy managers make recommendations, build operational strategies, and develop implementation processes that achieve greater efficiencies.
