NV Energy sees 36% demand response yield with EcoFactor EMS

NV Energy, through EcoFactor, today released the results of a 2010 pilot that deployed EcoFactor energy management technology. The deployment in homes in the Las Vegas metropolitan area delivered a 36 percent increase in demand response (DR) yield as compared to conventional residential DR.

Due to the pilot's success, NV Energy will expand its deployment of the technology this summer increasing its presence in Las Vegas and expanding to Reno.

NV Energy finds the peak load management allowed by the EcoFactor technology invaluable. The technology pre-cools homes in advance of DR events. NV Energy expects to call as many as 40 DR events lasting anywhere from two to three and a half hours over the summer.
