Sustainable mix DEMEC emphasizes a low to zero emissions generation mix, including natural gas, solar, and wind, offering a pathway to greener supply contracts for member utilities and potential carbon-reduction program collaborations.

Energy efficiency Since 2018, DEMEC’s energy efficiency programs have saved over 5 million kWh, presenting an opportunity to upsell enhanced efficiency programs, demand-side management, and utility-caliber efficiency services to their eight member communities.

Scale advantages As a Joint Action Agency with about 26MW solar, 71MW wind, and 215MW gas resources, DEMEC benefits from economies of scale that can yield favorable pricing on new generation contracts, fuel optimization services, and asset optimization partnerships.

Financial health Revenue range of 25 to 50 million and a track record of wholesale rate reductions plus reinvestment into member communities indicate readiness for expanded service lines such as advanced analytics,grid modernization, and resilience offerings.

Growth potential With eight member communities and nearly 100,000 residents plus ongoing renewable expansion and demand response, there are opportunities for regional solutions, technology pilots, and consulting on community-owned utility strategic planning.
