​What is a FLEXmarket?

FLEXmarket is a platform Recurve provides to utilities to connect aggregators (energy efficiency, demand response, and other behind-the-meter providers) to markets that pay for delivered grid value. Unlike traditional programs, the FLEXmarket is focused on enabling market access for the broad range of companies developing business model and technologies that can both provide customer and grid benefits. Rather than focusing on "measures," FLEXmarket measures outcomes at the meter using transparent open-source M&V, and pays for outcomes to aggregators. FLEXmarket aligns incentives and lets the market innovate on the business model.

What is "Market Access?"

The California Public Utilities Commission, on December 2nd 2021, approved an initial investment of $150M for "Market Access Programs" based on MCE/Recurve’s Peak FLEXmarket in order to reduce peaks during the summer of 2022 and 2023. Recurve’s FLEXmarket stands ready to address peak challenges and accelerate the implementation of energy efficiency and demand response as a demand-side resource.

How do I become a FLEXmarket provider?

To participate in a FLEXmarket, ​your organization can simply adopt the FLEXmarket terms of service. This standardized agreement is the same for all market participants, and establishes the basic payment terms and eligibility requirements for aggregators to participate in any of Recurve's FLEXmarkets. No RFP or complicated process to stands in the way of market access.

How do I enroll customers and get paid?

Go out and get customers to do projects to reduce or shift demand out of peak, enroll them into the FLEXmarket, deliver flexibility measured at the meter over the first year, and get paid for its grid value. Turn cash flows into working capital with VPP Project Finance.
