CPower’s EnerWise® Site Optimization Technology Recognized in Critical Human Infrastructure Category
BALTIMORE – April 24, 2023— CPower Energy (“CPower“), the national leader in unlocking the value of customer Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), has received a 2023 Edison Award in the Critical Human Infrastructure category for EnerWise® Site Optimization. The award was officially presented at the Edison Awards Gala on April 20, 2023 in Fort Myers, Florida.
The Edison Awards™, named after the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, recognize some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world, with past winners including Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, General Motors and Genentech. The Critical Human Infrastructure category recognizes innovations that integrate essential societal needs for energy, water, waste, communications and safety, improve quality of life around the world, spur economic growth, and drive all of us toward a more sustainable future.
“We are honored to be recognized by the Edison Awards committee for the value of our EnerWise Site Optimization technology,” said John Horton, President and CEO, CPower. “By pairing automation with our DER monetization and wholesale energy market expertise, we are proud to deliver a service that identifies and executes the most lucrative on-bill and grid service strategies for our customers. We hope that by spreading our message and inspiring more energy users to participate in the Customer-Powered Grid™, we can create a more sustainable future for us all.”
CPower launched EnerWise Site Optimization, an energy optimization solution, to help behind-the-meter DER owners stack multiple value streams, ensuring increased grid services revenue and on-bill savings while enhancing grid resiliency. In February, CPower announced the expansion of EnerWise to 40 new sites across the PJM region, and made EnerWise available in ISO-NE, which covers Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The Edison Award winners were selected by the Edison Awards Steering Committee as well as an independent judging panel of senior scientists, designers, engineers, marketers and leading academics. Among thousands of applicants, only 153 companies received an Edison Award.
