MCE Residential Efficiency Market

​A Market Access Program Enabling Innovative Business Models 

Based upon the success of the Commercial Efficiency Market, MCE's implementation of a Market Access Program is focused on the residential sector and performs under a unified set of rules and incentive structure across both Commercial and Residential Markets. 
​
MCE's approach uses actual, metered savings from projects to determine payments to aggregators based on the hourly avoided cost value of their projects net of program costs. In turn, aggregators will be motivated to maximize grid and customer outcomes, and can use this new cash flow to develop product strategies that drive greater savings and increased adoption.

This program structure aligns incentives for all parties: MCE pays for actual system benefits generated by projects; customers save money on energy efficiency and demand management projects with an aggregator of their choice; aggregators use their expertise to create tailored solutions for their residential customers that best balance grid benefits and customer needs. 

​Aggregators that meet program requirements will be responsible for sourcing and delivering Energy Efficiency and Demand Flexibility projects, and paid on the avoided cost value metered performance using open-source population normalized metered energy consumption in MCE member communities.​​
