1 Energy Efficiency A PJM Demand Management Program

2 PJM s Energy Efficiency program pays businesses for permanent load reduction resulting from energy efficiency projects they have completed or will be complete in the future. The program pays organization capacity revenue for up to four years following the completion of a qualified project. Qualifying projects include those with permanent energy reductions involving lighting, refrigeration equipment, HVAC, motors, VFDs, and more. There is revenue to be earned from your organization using less energy and helping PJM reduce the overall load on the grid. CPower can help you make it happen.

6 Energy Efficiency The CPower Way The PJM s rebates for energy efficiency programs tend to be higher than those offered by your local utility. As a licensed curtailment service provider (CSP), CPower is able to work with your organization to ensure your energy efficiency project qualifies at the PJM level so you can earn more revenue for the amount of energy usage you ve permanently reduced. CPower s team of energy experts can assess your project and optimize the revenue your organization earns from it by bidding the amount of capacity you ve reduced into PJM s capacity market (also known as the Reliability Pricing Model), allowing your organization to potentially earn additional revenue for the next four years.

10 The Value of aggregation The PJM s Energy Efficiency program is run by aggregators, which are licensed companies that have been approved by the PJM to facilitate your demand management. Aggregators are expert at helping organizations like yours maximize your demand management participation. Getting the most out of the Energy Efficiency program begins with choosing the right aggregator to manage your demand management. That s where CPower comes in. what is an aggregator? An aggregator is a third party entity (separate from the utility) that handles the demand response participation of many organizations to ensure effective curtailment takes place when the grid is stressed. Aggregators, like CPower, work with your organization to develop a customized curtailment strategy that suits the specific needs of your business. Aggregators ensure safe, efficient energy curtailment that results in larger incentive payments for the participating organization. The aggregator s mission is to optimize the participant s demand response in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes reward.
