Comverge Signs Purchase Order from Commonwealth Edison for Wireless Direct Load Control Product
"One of the most effective ways we have found to reduce peak demand is the direct load control device provided by Comverge," said Susan White, ComEd Nature First Program Manager. "Our customers are pleased with the program because they help the environment and save money on their electric bills."
"Energy capacity reserve margins are continually decreasing as demonstrated by the recent headlines across the country from Folsom California to Boston Mass," stated Frank Magnotti, president of Comverge Technologies. "Utilities, such as ComEd, can proactively use load management to avoid buying energy at high prices on the spot market effectively eliminating the operating losses reported in the recent earnings releases of some major utilities" he added.
