GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. Sees Continued Growth for Energy and Sustainability Services With Its Automated Demand Response Solutions Leading the Way Marketwire   "Press Releases"
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/06/11 -- GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: GRHU), a leading provider of energy efficiency solutions and sustainable infrastructure products, today announced that, along with its partners and subsidiaries, it is poised to take advantage of a market expected to grow by 500% over the next 10 years. According to Pike Research , the DR industry will begin a period of dramatic growth in the 2013 timeframe, and the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts under a moderate scenario that it will increase from a $1.4 billion annual market in 2010 to $8.2 billion by 2020.

The federal government is lending further credence to that prediction by adopting policies specifically designed to promote Automated Demand Response. In March , The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) established a new rule designed "to benefit customers and help improve the operation and competitiveness of organized wholesale energy markets by establishing the approach to compensation for demand response resources in those markets." While still the basis for argument on the objectivity of the new rule, the new policy was put in place to combat existing compensation structures that the FERC felt "hindered the development and use of demand response" or simply have become "unjust and unreasonable." Put simply the new rule mandates that utilities must pay the Locational Marginal Price, or local wholesale rate, for kWs shed by participants of Demand Response programs.

"The growth potential of this industry comes as no surprise to us as the incentives and cost savings for companies that act are significant," said Rob Davis , Vice President of Energy Services at GreenHouse. "Just the last 10 facilities alone that GreenHouse has audited are eligible for over $1.5 million in incentives from Southern California Edison and will be capable of voluntarily shedding a combined 4.5 megawatts at a moment's notice."

GreenHouse is a qualified service provider of SCE's Auto-DR program, providing site assessment, feasibility studies, project development, engineering, and installation of enabling technologies including complete processing of all utility documents.

About Automated Demand Response The Auto-DR program offers significant financial incentives and technical support to Southern California Edison (SCE) customers willing to install equipment that enables participation in demand response events versus depending on their employees to perform all the curtailment activities manually when required. Often, control systems (automation) are deployed containing the software and programming needed to achieve reductions in electricity consumption during periods of peak electricity demand. "Participants in SCE's Auto-DR program are in 100% control of the actual curtailment measures implemented on an event-to-event basis. Additionally, the systems commonly implemented for Auto-DR participation are fully capable of being used to improve productivity and equipment operating efficiencies as well as provide users with information that can augment routine and emergency operations and maintenance regimens," says Robert Davis , Vice President of Energy Services at GreenHouse. "In addition to deploying traditional automation systems, GreenHouse makes it a practice to investigate "out-of-the-box" solutions and is constantly searching for innovative technologies that will enhance participation opportunities to a wider utility customer base," adds Mr. Davis .
