Copperleaf Technologies Inc. provides web-based enterprise Demand-side Management and Asset Investment Planning software and services. Our business technology solution, ESP provides DSM modeling, planning and reporting functionality which supports the end-to-end business needs of DSM Planners and Managers throughout the entire DSM life cycle.  From the identification, modeling and screening of savings potential and DSM Programs, right through to the reporting of actual DSM Program and Portfolio performance, ESP efficiently and effectively helps our customers analyze and maximize the value of their DSM investments, and confidently communicate expected and actual performance with their key stakeholders, both internal and external. 

ESP was successfully delivered into BC Hydro's DSM group, Power Smart, in fall, 2005: 

• ESP has been used to extensively model Power Smart's 10 year, $600 million DSM Plan (with targeted savings of 3,600GWh/yr by 2011/12), which includes "actual" costs and participation/savings that have been realized since 2002. 

• ESP is supporting BC Hydro's 2006 Rate Case filing with the British Columbia Utilities Commission, and will be used to support its upcoming budget cycle. 

• ESP is being used to justify individual DSM Program business cases. 

• ESP is being used to examine longer-term scenarios which well-surpass the 10 year - 3,600GWh/yr target, involving assessments of new and emerging technologies, potential legislative/standard changes, and potential customer rate structures.

CopperLeaf Technologies Inc. delivers knowledge, experience and technology which enable our customers to maximize the value and return on their DSM investments.
