Buffalo, NY (Vocus) October 1, 2008-- As the leading authority on demand response in North America, Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. (http://www.ecsgrid.com) (ECS) is pleased to offer valuable strategic partnership opportunities through its PowerConnect strategic alliance program.

PowerConnect is designed to build strategic alliances between ECS and energy service professionals such as energy consultants, suppliers, energy efficiency engineers and others. The goal of the program is to open opportunities for clients of these companies to participate in ECS' array of PowerPay! demand response programs across North America.

Power Connect partners agree to refer their clients to participate in ECS' demand response programs, in which they reduce their electricity usage a few times a year for a small period of time to relieve stress on the grid. By participating, ECS pays customers for their participation and will also pay PowerConnect partners when their client successfully performs. This new source of income for the client adds value to the strategic partner's services, as well as helps the client fund projects offered by the PowerConnect partner.
