Its Cool Share program is a two-way communications enabled load control program, which currently has a capacity of 140MW of residential and small commercial peak demand reduction, and over the next several years, NV Energy will expand the demand response portfolio to close to 400MW.
NV Energy will employ DRBizNet to automate demand response business processes across an integrated advanced services delivery platform, allowing its demand response operations to be more automated, scalable and interoperable.
In addition, DRBizNet will enable global program and event management, residential device management, commercial client management and customer portal functionalities.
According to NV Energy, this will help provide tangible customer benefits associated with smart metering systems and support future smart grid initiatives.
