Connexx Energy Joins OpenADR Alliance

Company Further Commits to Developing Technology and Solutions to Support Commercial Demand Response and OpenADR Standards

Lee’s Summit, MO February 6, 2013-Connexx Energy, Inc., a subsidiary of Lynxspring, Inc. and leading developer of open technologies for building automation and energy management solutions has joined the OpenADR Alliance.
Today’s announcement comes on top of Connexx Energy’s recent announcement on the availability of its new OpenADR 2.0 a-certified Virtual End Node (VEN) driver for the Niagara AX® platform. This driver permits rapid deployment of standards-based AutoDemand Response solutions for Niagara based commercial deployments.

Formed in 2010, The OpenADR Alliance fosters the development, adoption, technical activities and compliance of the Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) standards through collaboration, education, training, testing and certification. OpenADR is an open global standard enabling electricity providers and system operators to automatically communicate Demand Response signals with each other and their customers using a common language over any existing IP-based communications network. OpenADR standardizes pricing, and electricity grid reliability.

Demand Response continues to play a significant role in helping to balance and manage the Smart Grid and reducing energy demand and costs. It is an important program for utilities as it assists them in making sure enough electricity is available on the grid to meet demand in order to avoid power outages by balancing the supply and demand for electricity by reducing the consumption at peak times or by shifting usage to non-peak periods when demand is lower.

“A critical element in automated demand response is technology; by developing demand response solutions based on OpenADR standards, we are enabling utilities along with commercial and industrial facilities to have a direct link that delivers fast and reliable load reductions, as well as cost savings without having to put in a lot of time and manual intervention”, commented Anno Scholten, President, Connexx Energy.
