State of the 2020 Texas Energy Market (Webinar)

September 03, 2020



In recent years, Texas’s energy market has been put to the test with shrinking reserve margins, increased electrical demand, and grid-threatening heat waves. The ERCOT grid has held and the market has helped organizations in the Lone Star State earn significant revenue by monetizing distributed energy resources.

The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, however, has unleashed a Texas-sized helping of uncertainty across the state, causing organizations like yours to scramble for energy insights needed to optimize your energy use and spend.

The one-hour webinar is designed to give your organization the demand-side energy management insights you need to make the most of 2020 and beyond in Texas.

Topics to be covered include:

  • How ERCOT’s economic-driven market design differs from other US energy markets (and why that design may be better for your organization’s bottom line)
  • Why renewable energy is growing in Texas
  • How organizations with distributed generation resources can earn revenue
  • Lucrative demand response opportunities in Texas
  • And more…

CPower’s Texas experts Mike Hourihan and Joe Hayden host this webinar that includes a question and answer session.

July 23, 2020



Are You Earning Revenue From Your Energy Savings?

Has your organization completed an energy efficiency project in the last two years? Are you planning on completing a project before June of 2021? If the answer is yes – you are likely eligible for earnings in addition to the savings your project is already delivering for up to the next four years.

 

Join Kelly Mallin & Jim Hooven from SJI Energy Advisors and its partner, CPower Energy Management, for a 60-min webinar to understand how you can receive these lucrative incentives. CPower can measure and verify your permanent load reduction and submit it to PJM (your regional transmission operator). And your organization begins receiving revenue payments. It’s that easy. No curtailment, no shutdown, no operational changes, no production or customer impact. Just revenue for work you have already completed!

 

Watch this webinar to learn more about:

  • Eligible incentives by state and utilities in PJM
  • Earning potential for past projects
  • Project data submission through CPower
  • How to generate additional revenue from other curtailment programs

Bouncing Back From 2020 in Texas’s Resilient Energy Market

2020 … what a year we’ve had in ERCOT so far!  Oil and gas prices have dropped to near-record lows. COVID-19 has driven massive energy usage declines across the world while rebalancing load demand in ERCOT as many organizations shift to work-from-home environments.

Through it all, ERCOT has maintained a very tight reserve margin while adjusting its energy policy. But, as always, Texas’s energy market design has proven to be up to the challenge.

The question, however, for most commercial and industrial energy managers is “what does all this mean for my organization’s energy strategy now and in the future?”

The good news is CPower has kept its finger on the pulse of these important topics and is ready to help your organization better plan, prepare, and implement your energy strategy for success … so you don’t have to. 

Join us for this 60-minute webinar to learn:

  • The changes and updates in the ERCOT energy market
  • Energy programs in ERCOT that deliver revenue to help offset costs (or losses)
  • A deep-dive into ERCOT’s Load Resource (LR) and Emergency Response Services (ERS) demand response programs
  • The changes and opportunities on the horizon for energy consumers in Texas

Led by Mike Hourihan, Director of Market Development in the ERCOT market, and Joe Hayden, General Manager, ERCOT with CPower. The webinar will also have a live Q&A session to answer all of your demand-side energy management questions. 

Batteries Included: The Impact of 2020 on Energy Storage and Energy Markets (Webinar)

As the country peeks ahead at returning to relative normalcy, the energy industry and organizations like yours are wondering what the future holds for energy storage in 2020 and beyond.

Join CPower for this 60-minute webinar to help gain expert insights into the following and more:

  • What regulatory issues concerning energy storage are attention-worthy?
  • Will the appetite for clean generation assets, like battery storage, return? How fast?
  • Are there new drivers for energy storage resulting from a 3-month national shutdown?
  • Should you still consider energy storage as a viable option for your organization? How can you pay for it?
  • How are energy storage developers looking to provide more value to customers?
  • When is the right time to get my projects back on track?

CPower’s team of experts answer these questions and more.

PJM in Motion (Environment + Energy Leader Webinar)



 

In 2015, PJM announced that it was retiring its seasonal emergency capacity demand response programs and replacing them with a single, year-round program called Capacity Performance, or CP. June 2020 was set as the first season that PJM would offer CP as their only capacity program.

June 2020 is just a few months away — and the world is a very different place from when CP was first proposed. Who knew PJM would solo their new emergency capacity program in the middle of one of the greatest upheavals in the last 50 years?

It’s no surprise that times of great flux and uncertainty bring more questions than there are answers for, and misinformation that can cloud the path to needed solutions.

CPower is committed to helping PJM energy users get a better understanding of the facts, clarify the misperceptions, and identify opportunities that still exist in this unprecedented year of change and complexity.

That’s why we’re bringing together our top experts on PJM and Capacity Performance in this timely and important webinar.

Stack & Earn with Pennsylvania Act 129 Demand Response (Webinar)

March 06, 2020



Why should you consider the Act 129 Demand Response Program in Pennsylvania?

Consider this: Pennsylvania’s Act 129 utility demand response program can be combined with PJM programs, including ones you’re probably already participating in—and it utilizes curtailment strategies you’ve already adopted. This means you can earn revenue from the Act 129 demand response program in addition to the PJM DR revenue you’re already earning—with little additional effort. And you can participate in Act 129 even if your current demand response provider is unable to offer it.
