Comverge Inc. (COMV) announced a new 10-year agreement to provide demand response services to all University of Maryland or UMD campus facilities and other Maryland state agencies. The contract extends the company's relationship with UMD, resulting in an electricity load reduction of more than 20 million kilowatts over the past 2 years.
The expanded terms of the deal supports Maryland's State Buildings Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, which requires that all state agencies reduce their energy consumption as part of the state's energy reduction goal of 15% by 2015.
Under the new deal, Comverge energy analysts would continue to provide load profiling and IT support, energy audits to measure where energy could be saved, complete on-site assessments, metering and system integration and assistance with 24/7 technical and operations support from its Integration & Command Center (ICC) to all UMD campuses and other state agencies.
