INDUSTRY VOICES
"There is a Market.com scenario, where the Internet revolutionizes the buying and selling of electricity and natural gas, maybe giving buyers of energy a stronger hand against sellers."
Bernard Wysocki Jr., Wall Street Journal
"Demand side management isn't a possibility at this juncture, because businesses get their power bill after the power is used."
Michelle Mueller, SDG&E's.
"It's no longer the buying of the commodity that's important, it's gathering all the information that allows you to buy it."
Carol H. Guthrie, Chevron USA.
"Information is critical to the evaluation of risk. The less that is known about the current state of a market or venture, the less the ability to project future outcomes and hence, the more those potential outcomes will be discounted."
Alan Greenspan, Chairman Federal Reserve
"Estimates suggest that power quality and reliability problems cost U.S. business about $150 billion annually in lost data, materials and productivity. Some reports that suggest businesses spent in excess of $11 billion globally on power quality and reliability products."
Scientech
"With deregulation in our near future it is mandatory that we are able to provide to our energy providers a detailed load profile of all our facilities. This will help us achieve bargaining power when it comes time to buy power on an open market structure. With out this information energy providers will sell us power at an increased rate to help cover the risk of not knowing how much energy our facilities use, and at what time they use it."
NAESCO
"Getting to the Internet and your data are what's important. The specific device you use to get to it doesn't really matter."
William R. Sell, Comdex
"Customers are quite willing to reduce demand if the price is right, if mechanisms are in place for communicating those prices, and if they have a means of controlling their electric loads."
Public Utilities Fortnightly
"The Internet makes it possible to communicate critical information in real time much more cheaply and reliably than a decade ago. Imagine the load reduction possible from a team of savvy energy managers monitoring huge office buildings in 10 cities, all from a single control center. And then there's new software that allows real-time visualization of loads, price analysis, and comfort modeling."
Public Utilities Fortnightly
"Specifically, load reductions at times of high prices provide the same reliability benefits that the same amount of additional generating capacity would."
Public Utilities Fortnightly
"In other words, a 5 percent reduction in peak demand reduces prices by more than 50 percent."
Public Utilities Fortnightly
"One difficulty for many people is that they cannot see, in any detail, the demands they place on the system. There is no way to weigh trade-offs, no one can analyze the consequences."
Nancy Vogel, Los Angeles Times
"It is crucial for both utilities and end users to know how much energy is being consumed, and in which parts of the operation at any given time."
Business Week
"Assumed load profiles prevent both suppliers and customers from responding to dynamic pricing."
Eric Hirst, Electric Industry Restructuring Consultant
