Comverge Announces Fourth 'Virtual Peaking Capacity(TM)'Program
More than 190 Megawatts of Virtual Peaking Capacity now under Contract 


EAST HANOVER, N.J., June 11  /PRNewswire/ -- Comverge, Inc. announced today
that it signed a second long-term contract with ISO New England to operate a
Virtual Peaking Capacity(TM) program in Southwestern Connecticut.  ISO New
England is the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) responsible for the
day-to-day reliable operation of New England's bulk power generation and
transmission system.

Under the Virtual Peaking Capacity(TM) program, Comverge will install, own and
operate a demand-side load management system marketed to small commercial and
residential energy consumers.  This fully outsourced service solution will
allow ISO New England to call upon needed capacity reduction that can be
dispatched within five minutes throughout the designated service territory.
Available demand reduction is targeted at twelve (12) megawatts by 2006.  The
program is a key component of ISO New England's program to improve system
reliability within the Southwest Connecticut region during periods of peak
electricity demand.

Frank Magnotti, President of Comverge Enterprises, the Comverge Group
responsible for development and operations of Comverge's Virtual Peaking
Capacity programs, said, "With the addition of this, our fourth fully
outsourced load management program, we will have the capacity to deliver over
190 megawatts of peak load reduction to customers in California, Utah and
Connecticut.  Our newest program, soon to be available to residential and
commercial customers in southwestern Connecticut, will be called the
CoolSentry(TM) program."

Robert M. Chiste, Chief Executive Officer of Comverge added, "ISO New England,
the Connecticut Department of Utility Control and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission have recognized that Virtual Peaking Capacity(TM) programs are
attractive, cost-effective and environmentally friendly mainstream components
of a balanced approach in ensuring service reliability, including demand side
solutions in addition to new generation and distribution options.  Our Virtual
Peaking Capacity(TM) programs are becoming well accepted as a significant
component of a portfolio of potential solutions available to the North American
electric utility industry.  In addition to our rapidly growing VPC business,
our other demand response hardware and software system sales to-date have
enabled five thousand (5,000) megawatts of potential demand reduction for the
benefit of North American utilities and other electricity providers.  Our focus
on demand response and load management has established Comverge as the industry
leader and we will continue to expand our efforts to bring 'demand management'
programs to utilities throughout North America."
