Several years ago, the State of California experienced numerous blackouts, causing havoc and chaos amongst its businesses and residents. While most of those in the energy field began to focus on the causes of the California crisis, there were 2 gentlemen in Western New York wondering what a similar catastrophe would mean to the State of New York.
Because of the many similarities in circumstances between California and New York, this potential blackout scenario began to look more "probable" than "possible". It is with this backdrop that Glen Smith and Stephen Lynch formed Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc. (ECS), with the sole purpose of helping the State of New York avoid a crisis similar to California. In the past few years, ECS has grown from this 2 man "idea" to become the largest administrator of demand response programs in the United States. |
