ELUTIONS announces renewal of AEM reseller marketing agreement with NSTAR
Tampa, Florida – July 18, 2006 – ELUTIONS announced today that NSTAR is renewing their contract to resell and market ELUTIONS AEM enterprise energy management service to their end-use clients.
The ELUTIONS Active Energy Management (AEM®) system, an Internet-based, wide area energy information management solution, offers NSTAR customers the tools to benefit from a faster and more efficient communication of load response events and near-real-time visibility of factors that impact the energy market. The ELUTIONS AEM® system provides event initiation, customer notification, event monitoring, performance compliance alerts and settlement calculation for participating demand response providers.
Frank Gundal, Manager, Products & Services for NSTAR, says, “Our customers have benefited greatly utilizing the ELUTIONS platform. Today’s high energy costs and volatility make it very important for customers to understand and control their energy use.”
ELUTIONS offers a comprehensive Internet-based system, expanding on several highly successful load response program implementations. AEM® is an energy use analysis tool with flexible demand response capabilities and integrated two-way (fixed-wire and wireless) communications platform. The AEM® application supports open data exchange protocols and provides a fully compliant demand response solution for NSTAR and their customers.
This wireless technology easily interfaces into metering, sub-metering, and other electronic equipment, providing NSTAR with an alternative approach to the traditional phone line transmission method and creating a cost-effective, reliable, flexible and secure connection.
