Demand Response

Taking demand response into the next era of energy management

Demand response programs help utilities improve system reliability, prevent blackouts and brownouts, increase electricity system delivery capacity, and more cost-effectively utilize investments in new infrastructure. However, new challenges posed by the rise in sustainability programs, increasing government regulations and the evolving smart grid will require demand response programs to evolve to accommodate these complexities.

Comverge, the recognized leading demand response company, has the expertise and solutions to address the future of energy management. In 2003, Comverge successfully completed its first full-scale Demand Response operation with Utah Power VPC. Currently, Comverge has enrolled over 500,000 consumers in Demand Response programs and services 60% of the residential Demand Response market.
