The approval is for up to 560MW of demand response capacity for an initial 10-year term, which will represent an expansion of 400MW to TVA’s existing deployment of approximately 160MW with EnerNOC. EnerNOC and TVA currently expect to enter into a contract to formalize Phase II in the near future.
John Trawick, senior vice president of commercial operations and pricing at TVA, said: “Over the past 18 months, EnerNOC has proved its ability to reliably deliver demand response capacity when and where it’s needed to help TVA to cost-effectively meet its system needs. Additionally, EnerNOC’s high level of customer service has provided value to our power distributors and their customers.”
Over 200 commercial, industrial and institutional businesses across TVA’s service territory have already enrolled in Phase I of the TVA/EnerNOC Demand Response Program. EnerNOC claims that for each customer, it develops a customized demand reduction plan that delivers maximum value to both the customer and the TVA system.
