Stater Bros. Markets Earns $250,000 Annually by Participating in EnerNOC Demand Response
Leading Southern California Supermarket Chain Reduces Electricity Usage at Nearly 150 Stores
BOSTON, Jan. 26, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnerNOC, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENOC), a leading provider of clean
and intelligent energy solutions, today announced that Stater Bros. Markets, the largest privately-owned
supermarket chain in southern California, has earned payments of approximately $250,000 annually for
reducing non-essential electricity usage during periods of peak demand, high electricity prices, and other
system needs. As part of EnerNOC's demand response (DR) program, Stater Bros. stores throughout the
San Diego region and Southern California Edison service territory can leverage free basic access to
PowerTrak®, EnerNOC's web-based energy management software, to identify additional cost-saving
opportunities through better energy management.
Stater Bros. enrolled in EnerNOC DR in 2008 because of the potential to earn significant payments and to
protect its stores and surrounding communities from brownouts and rolling blackouts. The grocery chain
now has 148 stores across dozens of communities, such as Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, Encinitas, Poway,
and Ramona. By making minor adjustments to store lighting, air conditioning, and other energy-intensive
functions during DR events, which are called by the regions' grid operators, Stater Bros. stores can achieve
significant energy reductions without sacrificing customer comfort.
While these changes may be visible to store customers, they do not affect the overall shopping
experience. Stater Bros. has created in-store signage that explain demand response to customers and
highlight how minor changes can add up to major energy reductions -- reducing the need for more power
plants and helping protect the electricity grid, which has resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback from
its customers.
"Participating in demand response is a significant element in Stater Bros.' commitment to being a
sustainable partner in our community. The EnerNOC DR program also earns Stater Bros. significant
revenues that help reduce operating costs," said Scott Limbacher, VP of Construction and Maintenance. Mr.
Limbacher added, "EnerNOC provided at no cost, the documentation, technology, and the assistance needed
to implement DR at all locations. Grocery stores, malls, and other heavy electricity users should definitely
include demand response as part of their business practice."
"By investing millions of dollars into our demand response application, EnerNOC has the technology to
enable many different types of energy users -- from large industrial facilities to the smaller commercial sites
-- to benefit from demand response," said Tim Healy, Chairman and CEO of EnerNOC. "Smaller sites, like
grocery stores, have traditionally been excluded from being active participants in the energy market, but as
Stater Bros. demonstrates, it's a market that can really benefit, while providing a valuable service to their
communities."
