What does an aggregator do?Aggregators provide a guaranteed turnkey resource, similar to a power plant, by bridging the gap between grid operators and customers.

Rapid customer acquisition can only happen with a dedicated team, unfettered by regulations and barriers typical for many utilities.
As of March 31, 2011:
6,300 MW under management
3,900 C&I demand response customers
10,100 C&I sites under management
Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011
Really? Aren’t you just giving away money?Convincing customers to participate in demand response is far from straightforward, and requires customizing a package for each one.
• New revenue stream
• Reduced energy costs
• Access to energy data
• No cost or risk
“Financially, DR makes a lot of sense. As energy costs go up, we need to maintain control and reduce our reliance on increasing amounts of electricity.”
- Jake Nixon, Mission Produce, Oxnard, CA
Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011
What are the other parts of the package?Once you have a customer’s data, provision of additional services is a small incremental step – but plays a huge part in ensuring customers remain engaged in DR.
