December 17, 2001—Envenergy, developer of the industry’s first Multi-Protocol Exchange (MPX) for energy and facility management, recently announced a partnership with Groupe Electricite de France (EDF), the world’s largest utility.
Under the terms of the agreement, EDF will contribute resources from its 2,500-person research-and-development staff and its experience in European markets to develop applications and services using Envenergy’s MPX. EDF will gain a minority equity stake in Envenergy.
Key advantages of the partnership include:
- Joint product development to reduce the time to market for expansion into Europe.
- Incorporating Envenergy technologies in EDF applications and services, particularly for the commercial sector.
- Identifying and deploying the most promising new applications of Envenergy’s technology within EDF.
Envenergy’s MPX provides the infrastructure needed to bring information from disparate facility systems (building automation, energy, lighting, access control, metering, etc.) into an enterprise information-technology environment. It allows users to improve their bottom line through improved equipment performance, reduced energy costs, and greater operational efficiency.
