Andover, MA – April 11, 2023 – Enel North America, a leading energy services company and renewables developer in North America, has partnered with Phoenix Energy Technologies to simplify, automate, and scale revenue-generating demand response (DR) opportunities for businesses and organizations with operations spanning multiple locations – such as retailers, grocery chains, schools, banks, and more.

Phoenix’s Demand Manager application helps businesses with multiple locations and disjointed energy systems better understand and more easily manage their energy usage across sites by creating a unified control layer, increasing energy efficiency and cost savings. When combined with Enel’s leading demand response services, businesses using Phoenix’s Demand Manager can earn additional revenue by enrolling in multiple lucrative utility and wholesale DR programs across North America. Together, Enel and Phoenix can help businesses implement curtailment strategies – such as HVAC load cycling, load rolling, and load shifting – to maximize earnings while respecting operational and comfort constraints.

With access to more wholesale and utility DR programs than any other aggregator and decades of experience managing customer DR participation, Enel is uniquely positioned to help businesses maximize their DR earnings without disrupting operations or patron experience. Phoenix’s Demand Manager application complements Enel’s DR services and provides us with the ability to better serve businesses with complex energy systems spanning multiple locations.

— Molly Jerrard, Head of Demand Response at Enel North America

Phoenix is excited to announce this partnership with Enel, who not only will offer Phoenix customers significantly broader demand response market access but also access to their impressive distributed energy resources portfolio. Conversely, we look forward to working with Enel customers to help them aggregate multi-site portfolios using our software platform, EDX, to simplify and augment their DR market participation.

— Ryan Adelman, Vice President, Business and Corporate Development at Phoenix

A leader in DR, Enel manages 4.7 GW of DR capacity across North America and around 8.5 GW globally. In 2022 alone, Enel managed their customer participation in over 700 DR events across North America, totaling 3,406 hours and 47,609 MWh dispatched – earning their customers over $150 million in revenue.
