SAN FRANCISCO and HOUTEN, The Netherlands – October 11, 2016 – Energyworx (https://www.energyworx.com), a SaaS-based platform for energy data management and energy intelligence solutions that help utility companies navigate and monetize the energy transition, today announced an extension to its current funding round led by SET Ventures, a venture capital firm specialized in the energy sector. Energyworx will leverage the new funding to expand its machine learning-based energy intelligence solutions and further scale its U.S. and European operations.

Energyworx: the SaaS solution for energy intelligence

The energy transition to renewable energy is disrupting the existing business models of energy and utility companies. Data is growing exponentially due to the rollout of smart meters, new grid sensors, IoT and the increasing frequency of data. As a result, utility companies need to transform from a commodity-driven model to a data-driven model. Ingesting, analyzing and getting value out of these massive amounts of data is quickly becoming a significant problem for all players in the energy industry. The Energyworx SaaS-based platform for energy data management and energy intelligence solutions addresses and solves these challenges.

“Energyworx enables the energy transition at scale. We invested because we recognize the company’s unique capabilities, products and services in energy data management and intelligence, along with the strength of its offering to energy retailers, grid companies, and other players,” said Wouter Jonk, Managing Director at SET Ventures.

Energyworx has been recognized for the past two years in the Gartner ‘Magic Quadrant’ for Meter Data Management because its pay-per-use pricing is an attractive solution for utilities looking for rapid time to market without any capital expense. Further, the Google Cloud Platform team entered into a global technology and business partnership with Energyworx in 2014.

“Energyworx helps utility companies to reduce their risk, generate a higher margin and give them and their customers a competitive advantage. We help utilities to forecast in minutes versus days. We do this by analyzing the right data with the right context much faster and more accurately than anyone else. Our deal lifecycle solutions utilize specific, machine learning algorithms developed specifically for the utility industry,” said Marcel E. Smit, CEO of Energyworx.

The market opportunity for Energyworx is massive and global. According to a report from Green Tech Media Research, the cumulative value of the smart grid market is expected to surpass USD $400 billion by 2020, and the fastest growing smart grid market segment globally is the analytics sector.

“Utility companies are sitting on a huge pile of valuable data and adding datalab capabilities – including machine learning at scale – to our energy data intelligence solution allows us to support utilities in a unique way,” said Edwin Poot, founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Energyworx. “Energyworx enables the digital transformation that utility companies need to not only evolve their business models but also improve their competitive advantage and keep them ahead of the curve.”
