VOL 3 • February, 2015 EnerTech Capital “Thought Leadership in Energy Technology”
EnerTech Update
Wally Hunter,
Managing Director
EnerTech Capital
EnerTech is pleased to release its third edition of
EnerTech Quarterly. We were busy over the past
quarter both with our existing portfolio and new
deals in EnerTech IV. The major investment
highlights since our last report include:
EnerTech IV
EnerTech signed two term sheets in Q4
2014, with total investment from $9-$10
million, and is targeting Q1 2015 closes,
subject to final diligence. To date
EnerTech has invested $33 million in
eight companies. Should these two deals
close, we will have invested $42-$43
million and have ten investments in ECP
IV.
We have continued to see strong deal flow in
the US and Canada with over 750 deals in
2014.
Our investment strategy continues to be focused
on the Energy Technology sector. EnerTech is
active in seeking out innovative technologies from
“The Well Head to the Wall Socket” and we are
seeing interesting opportunities including:
Behind the Meter technologies (Distributed
Energy Resource Management)
Building automation, lighting and energy
efficiency technology
Digital Oilfield and Oil & Gas technologies
focused on reducing production costs
EnerTech III
We closed on aggregate follow-on
investment of $500 thousand in three ECP III
companies.

ENERTECH QUARTERLY
Oil Price and Impact on the Energy Technology
Sector:
There have been many questions recently around the
impact of the oil price on our sector. At EnerTech we have
a very broad investment strategy in the Energy Technology
Sector and have focused on technologies that reduce costs
of production and that create real reductions in the level of
energy consumption.
We see the recent decline in oil prices as a great
opportunity for new technologies that help bring down the
costs as O&G producers are forced to become even more
competitive in a low oil price environment. Our ECP IV
investment in Markwater, now rebranded as Western
Oilfield Equipment Ltd., is an example of a technology that
allows drillers to recover and re-use expensive oil-based
muds and provides a payback of $3-$5 thousand per day in
savings. While drilling has declined in the current
environment, solutions like Western Oilfield provide such
strong ROIs to operators that they are seeing an increased
amount of interest in their technology notwithstanding the
current down turn.
There has also been an increased focus in the Digital Oil
field, which involves the digitization and/or automation of
various aspects of exploration and production. This
represents a great opportunity for us and we see significant
value in technologies like these for cost reduction within Oil
& Gas companies.
It is also important to put the recent oil price decline into
context:
There have been two severe declines in the price of oil
in the past 15 years (2001 & 2008). The average
duration of these declines was approximately 10
months.
According to Reuters, 10 of 12 OPEC producing
countries are not able to balance their budgets with oil
below $70, with some requiring oil prices well above
$100.
Political instability in the Middle East has a strong
potential to impact short and long term oil price trends.
A very small amount of oil goes into electricity
production. Low cost natural gas is a much bigger
factor for renewables and power production. It is also
important to remember that natural gas prices have
been low for a number of years.
The long term factors driving the energy sector
including the continued drive to improve living
standards for developing nations will continue to
increase long term energy demand.
At EnerTech, we view the recent oil price decline as an
opportunity to continue to build our portfolio with
companies at attractive valuations offering cost reducing
technologies in all areas of the energy landscape.

Managing Director, EnerTech Capital
The Electric Utility - A Brief Modern
History
For most of the last century, electric utilities were vertically
integrated monopolies. Then, as now, safety and reliability
were the industry’s guiding principles. The industry upheld
these principles through a culture of self-reliance and
centralized control. Energy generation, transmission and
distribution assets were all built, owned and operated by
utilities. During this era, electricity, especially in the US,
was extremely inexpensive. Then, in the early 1970s things
started to change due to higher prices, environmental
pressures and deregulation.
The 1973 oil embargo caused a sharp increase in oil prices.
At the same time a growing environmental movement
brought public pressure to bear on utilities to add
conservation and energy efficiency programs to their
customer offerings. In 1978, the Public Utility Regulatory
Policy Act (PURPA) was enacted as one of the first laws that
deregulated energy companies and enabled customers to
participate in the supply of electricity. Among other things,
it also increased efficiency by encouraging cogeneration.
From the mid-1980s and into the 1990s the utility business
model continued to evolve as utilities diversified operations
and sought out new opportunities that were compatible
with their existing regulated utility business. Meanwhile,
customer-side energy systems, primarily in the form of large
and small cogeneration, and energy efficiency projects
started to have an impact on energy grid conditions. A
capacity crisis in New England in the early 2000s expanded
and formalized the role of customers on the energy grid.
Power pools started offering incentives to customers willing
to stand ready to curtail consumption to help stabilize the
grid during peak demand periods leading to the dawn of the
Demand Response (DR) era.
The popularity of DR grew over the next several years.
Comverge, a former EnerTech portfolio company that went
public in 2007, and EnerNOC, today one of the largest
providers of energy intelligence software and services, and
several other Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs) helped
launch DR as a stand-alone service.
CSPs made residential, commercial, institutional and
industrial customers part of the solution to the peak load
and transmission/distribution congestion issues faced by
utilities. DR evolved to control discrete loads for one to six
hour time periods for four to eight days per year. The
amount of load under management increased dramatically
from 2005 to 2010 solidifying DR as an established business.
Distributed Energy Resource Management (“DERM”) – The Evolution of North
American Utilities
4
ENERTECH QUARTERLY
As DR became more mainstream, engineers, entrepreneurs,
and researchers expanded the concept of ‘excess’ capacity/
energy ‘hidden’ on the customer premise as a way to
support electric grid operations and lower costs. Key
considerations to expand the use of these assets included
the following:
Ensure low cost and timely connectivity to assets
Coordinate use of assets to solve grid operational and
reduce costs for the customer
Understand when an asset is available for use other than
for its primary purpose
Build a system that reliably responds when needed
Create business models and/or regulatory programs
with the proper economic incentives
The popularity of demand-side management and distributed
generation coincided with growing centralized energy
challenges including: increased network congestion,
generation retirements and restrictions on the type of new
plants that could be built. Mindful of the issues, policy
makers and regulators developed programs that once again
looked to the customer side of the meter for solutions
leading to the birth of the Distributed Energy Resources
(DER ). Greentech Media defines DER as follows:
“DER is a package of customer-side technologies including
energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation
and storage (both thermal and electric), and smart electric
vehicle charging. These technologies can play a critical role in
increasing the efficiency and reliability of the power system,
reducing costs, and integrating increasing levels of variable
renewables, like wind and solar. They can benefit both
consumers and grid managers.”
Transition to the Edge
The proliferation of DER shifted the mindset of utilities.
Recognizing the need to replace the decline of centrally
generated Megawatts, utilities focused more on generation
and management strategies available at the edge of the
network. This potential was not without its challenges
however. The intermittency of distributed renewable
generation attributed primarily to solar, and to a lesser
degree, wind was a key challenge. This issue was
exacerbated by the disaggregated nature of solar and wind
deployments. The combined impact created unprecedented
operational problems on the grid. Utilities needed to
integrate these deployments into their networks but found
it difficult to meet the challenges through a centralized
systems. It soon became apparent that the most cost
effective and efficient way to manage distributed energy
resources was with a Distributed Energy Resource
Management System (DERMS). This market shift to the grid
edge was a big “aha moment” with revolutionary
consequences.
At the Edge
The shift to the grid edge has inspired the launch of new
technologies and viable business models that use behind the
meter resources to benefit both customers and the grid.
EnerTech’s investment theme follows these trends, focusing
on DER technologies including: demand management,
distributed generation, DERMS and distributed storage,
arguably the least developed of these three and where a
game changing solution is yet to occur.
EnerTech Portfolio Companies in the DERMs space
Enbala Power Networks
Enbala software is extremely unique in that customer
premise assets enlisted in the network both statically and
dynamically indicate whether they are available to be used
for something other than their primary purpose. Taking a
variable speed pump as an example. Its full load operation
might be required between certain hours, otherwise the
unused capability can be used to support whatever Enbala
chooses – firming of renewable generation; relaxing
distribution system congestion issues; avoiding a coincident
peak for the customer, etc.
Tangent Energy Solutions
Tangent’s Distributed Energy Resource Management System
(DERMS), named Tangent AMP™, monitors grid, facility and
on-site generation assets, and alerts customers ahead of
h igh-value economic opportunit ies . Demand
Design™ and Demand Design PLUS™ build on Tangent
AMP™ to actively manage customer demand and integrate
generation assets in response to these opportunities. By
uniquely building out a DER solution from the customer side
of the meter, and monetizing it through exclusive
relationships with energy retailers, municipal utilities and
other Load Serving Entities (LSEs), Tangent motivates and
empowers customers to become price makers on the
energy grid while making it easier for the energy industry to
access and integrate distributed energy resources.
EnerTech Portfolio companies EnergySavvy and REGEN
Energy also play within the DERM space. EnergySavvy’s
software is used by leading utilities to improve energy
efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) program
performance. REGEN’s wireless energy management
system controllers help customers simplify energy efficiency
and demand response, manage electrical demand for
building equipment, and reduce costs.
