Excerpt from EnerNOC, Inc. SEC Filing dated May 16, 2007
EnerNOC is a leading developer and provider of clean and intelligent power solutions. We use our Network Operations Center, or NOC, to remotely manage and reduce electricity consumption across a network of commercial, institutional and industrial customer sites to enable a more information-based and responsive, or intelligent, electric power grid. Our customers are electric power grid operators and utilities, as well as commercial, institutional and industrial end-users of electricity. In order to avoid service disruptions, such as brownouts and blackouts, during periods of peak electricity demand, grid operators and utilities have traditionally increased supply-side capacity by building additional power plants and transmission lines. As an alternative, we offer demand response solutions, whereby we monitor electricity consumption and alert our end-use customers to reduce their usage during these same peak periods. This helps optimize the balance of electric supply and demand and creates a significantly lower cost and more environmentally sound, or clean, alternative to building additional power plants and transmission lines. Grid operators and utilities pay us a stream of recurring revenues for managing this demand response capacity... The electric power industry in North America faces enormous challenges to keep pace with the increasing demand for electricity. Under-investment in generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure in recent years in key regions, coupled with a dramatic growth in electricity consumption, has led to an increased frequency of brownouts and blackouts. Moreover, the margin between electric supply and demand is projected to drop below minimum target levels in Texas, New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, and the Rocky Mountain region within the next two to three years. According to the International Energy Agency, the United States and Canada need to add 758,000 MW of additional capacity at a cost of $1.6 trillion between 2003 and 2030 to meet projected demand. As the electric power industry confronts these challenges, demand response has emerged as an important solution to help address the imbalance in electric supply and demand. We are a pioneer in the development, implementation and broader adoption of technology-enabled demand response solutions. Our technology enables us to send control signals to, and receive bi-directional communications from, an Internet-enabled network of broadly dispersed end-use customer sites in order to initiate, monitor, and terminate demand response activity. Our robust and scalable technology and proprietary operational processes automate demand response and simplify end-use customer participation. These solutions are designed for the commercial, institutional and industrial market, which represents over 60% of U.S. electricity consumption. We provide demand response capacity by contracting with these end-use customers of grid operators and utilities to reduce their electricity usage on demand. We receive most of our revenues from grid operators and utilities and we make payments to end-users of electricity for both contracting to reduce electricity usage and actually doing so when called upon. Our technology enables us to remotely reduce electricity usage in a matter of minutes, or send curtailment instructions to our end-use customers to be implemented on site. We began providing demand response solutions in one state in 2003 and expanded nationally to over 20 states in five regions by the end of 2006. From our start in one open market in 2003 to our current 17 contracts and open market programs with grid operators and utilities, we have increased our demand response capacity under management with commercial, institutional and industrial customers to 137 MW at the end of 2005 and to approximately 579 MW as of April 15, 2007. In addition, in the first quarter of 2007, we entered into three new utility contracts which are subject to regulatory approval and would enable us to enroll up to an additional 110 MW of demand response capacity. |
