CPower, a leading energy management firm, today announced that it has been selected as a winner of the first Innovation Competition at GreenBeat 2009, the seminal conference on the Smart Grid. With its demand response and energy efficiency programs, CPower is playing a critical role in ensuring electricity consumers, utility providers and energy efficiency product and services vendors are able to realize the full value of their investments in Smart Grid infrastructure and technology. CPower is accomplishing this by leveraging the information and visibility that the Smart Grid provides to help its clients and partners execute shortterm demand changes, as well deliver long-term permanent energy use reductions, in response to the dynamic needs of the electricity grid. As a result, CPower's customer and business partners help increase grid reliability and minimize price volatility, while earning market payments for those reductions.
