Enel secures 157-MW demand response commitment in ISO New England

Enel SpA's advanced energy services division, Enel X, was awarded market commitments to deliver 157 MW of demand response resources in the Forward Capacity Market by the ISO New England, through U.S. demand response company EnerNOC Inc.

As a result, Enel said its "virtual power plant" in New England will grow by 50% year over year for the delivery period 2021/2022. Previously, Enel X was awarded 101 MW for the 2020/2021 period.

Under the program, commercial and industrial customers who choose to join Enel X's demand response network will be paid to reduce their power consumption to help increase grid stability.

"Through this award we are delivering on our growth strategy in the advanced energy solution sector, while also expanding our geographical footprint and strengthening our lead in the US demand response market," Francesco Venturini, head of Enel X, said in a Feb. 21 news release.

With the awarded capacity, the Enel also enters into Connecticut and Vermont demand response markets.
