Worcester, MA, June 6, 2011 — World Energy Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: XWES), a leading energy management services firm, today announced it will host a new webinar, “The Future of Demand Response in New York,” on Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 2:00pm ET.

New York is one of the oldest DR markets in the country and also one of the most lucrative. In New York City, for example, participants can earn as much as $175,000 per curtailed MW! While payouts outside New York City aren’t nearly as high, participation in the upcoming new and improved Demand Side Ancillary Service Program (DSASP) can significantly increase returns while also providing an opportunity to leverage additional energy management services.

DR is an evolving market, and savvy energy managers need to stay abreast of developments and market opportunities to get the most value from their participation. This complimentary webinar will show New York-based companies, and those with facilities in New York, how – focusing on the available DR programs throughout the state and how to determine which meet your facility-specific needs. Additionally, World Energy will provide you with a roadmap on how to maximize the value your company derives from demand response participation.
