BGE Chooses Cooper Power Systems' Cannon Demand Management Solution
Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. (BGE; Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.), a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, will be using the Cannon Demand Management solution from Cooper Power Systems' (Houston, Texas, U.S.) Energy Automation Solutions (EAS) group. The EAS group is providing BGE a solution comprised of its Yukon enterprise software, along with a combination of state-of-the-art smart thermostats and control switches using a wireless communications system.
BGE announced its Smart Energy Savers Program in January 2007, and during the summer successfully piloted the residential demand-response program to support a reduction in peak electric demand usage and energy-conservation efforts. The Cannon Demand Management solution supports several of BGE goals, including ensuring system reliability and helping customers manage their energy use.
Cooper expects the project will represent US$42 million in revenue from 2008 to 2011 and, when expanded to full capacity, it will provide more than 600 MW of clean energy capacity by 2011.
