The City of Peoria, Arizona Selects Comverge Demand Response Services
02 Aprile 2012 - 3:00PM
Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq:COMV), the leading provider of Intelligent
Energy Management solutions for Residential and Commercial &
Industrial (C&I) customers, today announced that it has
assisted the City of Peoria's Jomax and Beardsley Water Reclamation
Facilities (WRF) successfully participate in the 2010 and 2011
Arizona Public Service (APS) Peak Solutions programs. By leveraging
Comverge's demand response expertise, the City was able to curtail
its consumption at multiple facilities over the two-year period.
"Our water and wastewater sustainability initiatives represent a
commitment we have made to our customers, our community and the
environment," said Brian Biesemeyer, Deputy Public Works-Utilities
Director, City of Peoria. "Working with Comverge to implement
demand response has helped us maximize our participation in the APS
Peak Solutions program, maintain our standing as a leader in
environmentally sustainable operations and secure incremental
revenue."
Launched in 2010, the APS Peak Solutions program helps C&I
businesses earn additional revenues by reducing electricity load on
peak event days. For the City of Peoria's Jomax and Beardsley
facilities, Comverge engineers worked with members of the public
works utilities department to design a demand response system
tailored to their individual needs. This included shutting down
agitation blowers and sanitizing UV lights during times of peak
demand, both of which helped reduce energy consumption without
dramatically affecting operations.
"Water is extremely valued in the desert and the City of Peoria
has taken great strides in conserving this natural resource through
these reclamation facilities," said George Hunt, senior vice
president, C&I sales, Comverge. "While these conservation
efforts are incredibly important, they can also be very energy
intensive. By partnering with Comverge to implement an innovative
demand response program, the City of Peoria has seamlessly
incorporated energy management best practices into its facilities
without impacting existing processes."
