EnerNOC Awarded 50 Megawatt Demand Response Contract in Australia
October 10 2017 - 8:58PM
EnerNOC, Inc., an Enel Group Company, announced today that it has
been awarded a three-year demand response contract with the
Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the NSW Government.
Under the terms of the contract, EnerNOC will develop and
operate a 50 MW demand response (DR) resource to support system
reliability in the National Electricity Market (NEM). The
dispatchable DR resource will utilise aggregated load curtailment
from commercial and industrial energy users across New South Wales
and Victoria to respond within 10 minutes when dispatched by the
Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). This new DR resource will
be available for dispatch December 2017, thus ensuring it will
enhance system reliability during the peak summer months.
“Demand response is one of the quickest and most cost-effective
tools the NEM can employ to help avoid the reliability challenges
experienced last summer,” said Jeff Renaud, Vice President and
Managing Director, Asia Pacific. “The virtual power plant we're
building with the support of ARENA will provide grid services in a
quick and reliable way with the benefit of low emissions."
In addition to supporting system reliability during times of
peak demand, EnerNOC's DR resource will further support system
security in the NEM by offering frequency control ancillary
services (FCAS), providing a sub 1-second fast frequency response
to help maintain system stability following unexpected contingency
events.
EnerNOC's resource will demonstrate that, when equipped with the
right technology, commercial and industrial energy users can create
new revenue streams while providing multiple benefits to the
grid.
“As we work to integrate more variable renewable energy
generation sources on the supply side in the NEM, it's going to be
critical to enable corresponding flexibility on the demand side,”
said Mr. Renaud. “This project is a key enabling step toward
realising that future.”
