Demand Response & Distributed Generation

Good Company has recognized expertise in the areas of smart energy technology and advanced meter-data networks, and particularly in the areas of demand response and distributed generation.  We support companies developing new products and services in these industry sectors and help established companies expand into the Texas market, find customers, partners, or funders. We have helped develop and launch residential and commercial energy management and demand response related companies and their technical offerings.  We provide governmental affairs support and consulting to companies in this space, as well as business development support. 

Consulting Services:

We understand the role and importance of demand-response and distributed generation and can help ESCOs or retail electric providers design demand response programs tailored to the specific needs of their customers and markets.  We can help customers evaluate the potential costs and benefits of participating in demand response programs or markets, or create strategies to optimize the value of their existing assets. Every state is approaching this issue differently, and meter deployment plans, rules, and demand response related incentives vary widely. 

We help generation companies develop strategies to offer on-site generation to complement other load-side resources, optimize customer reliability while reducing costs, and/or generating additional revenue from energy or ancillary services markets or bilateral contracts.  We help utilities or competitive load serving entities understand emerging technologies, as well as technical and communications standards, and understand where the market for smart-energy technologies or distributed generation is headed, and how to benefit through partnership with their loads.  We also help investors evaluate new technologies.

Business Development

Our deep understanding of the complex legal and regulatory environment of traditional utilities, as well as, of the competitive market, allows us to see opportunities not immediately obvious, and help our customers turn complexity into a market advantage.  We help develop specific offerings in response to the needs of particular customers and their needs.  We help companies in this space find customers and close deals, identify allies, partners or channels, or find financing.
