This expansion and diversification of EnergyConnect’s Demand Response (DR) and Interruptible Load for Reliability (ILR) services support the Governor’s energy initiatives to help Pennsylvania manufacturers remain competitive and to make Pennsylvania electric supply more efficient. EnergyConnect pays industrial facilities to participate in our programs.

Gene Ameduri, President of EnergyConnect said, “As we continue to educate the large industrial energy consumers in western Pennsylvania about the advantages and ease of use of our automated web-based services and the additional revenue opportunities that we bring to them, they identify operational changes that can provide revenue from these programs without impacting primary production output.
