MCE Commercial Efficiency Market
​Enabling Innovative Business Models and Customer Choice

Rather than develop a typical energy efficiency program with prescriptive saving measures and a lot of paperwork, MCE's Commercial Efficiency Market will directly subsidize Energy Efficiency and Demand Flexibility projects implemented by approved Demand Flexibility Marketplace aggregators.  ​​

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 and customer 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 by commercial building owners.

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 commercial building customers that best balance grid benefits and customer needs. ​

MCE is leveraging the Marketplace Platform from Recurve to provide:

• Revenue Grade meter-based open-source savings for Advanced M&V 
• Settlement Quality transaction tracking via Recurve's Fleet Manager and Flex Ledger
• Data-driven engagement support to identify high-savings-potential customers

 
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.
