Voltus Inc. announced that it has been selected as a winning supplier of the Illinois Power Agency's (IPA) capacity procurement for Ameren Illinois.

The 653 MWs of capacity procured in this process is for planning years 2019/2020, and Voltus said that, "the award secures Voltus' position as the only demand response provider to win a contract in the IPA all-source procurement process, which began in 2007."

"Although we're not at liberty to disclose the size of the award, we can say that it is the largest demand response public procurement award in the history of the demand response industry. It takes us well above 1,000 MWs of demand response under management across our portfolio in the United States and Canada," said Gregg Dixon, CEO of Voltus.
