Denver, CO (ENSPIRIA.COM) March 25, 2009
Denver, CO (enspiria.com) March 25, 2009 - EnspiriaŽ Solutions, a leading provider of consulting and systems integration to the utility, cable and government sectors, announced that it has joined the Demand Response and Smart Grid Coalition (DRSG).
Over thirty companies are members of this coalition, formed to increase awareness among policymakers, stakeholders and utility customers of how demand response and smart grid technologies and practices will modernize and strengthen the national electricity system. The DRSG is the trade association for companies that provide products and services in the demand response and smart grid area.
Smart grids are intelligent infrastructures that combine business systems with specialized energy distribution automation devices to form an integrated electric and communications network, which bridge and support the interactions between the energy producer and consumers.
Enspiria Solutions assists electric, gas, and water utilities throughout the entire Smart Grid technology implementation lifecycle, from visioning and strategic planning through system deployment and integration.
Enspiria Solution's subject matter experts maintain knowledge of a wide range of Smart Metering technologies, and have real-world experience implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), meter data management systems (MDMS), demand response (DR), and other Smart Grid solutions.
"Enspiria Solutions has been very involved with AMI and MDM services over the last five years. More than 35 utilities have already turned to the Enspiria team for help in defining and implementing their Smart Grid strategies - strategies impacting some 60 million meters across North America. We believe that being an active Executive Member of the DRSG will further strengthen our industry expertise in this arena, substantiating our continued commitment to our clients for Smart Grid services." said Mehrdod Mohseni, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enspiria Solutions.
Joining the DRSG places Enspiria in the center of the growing discussion area involving the deployment of Smart Grid solutions into the electric utility industry. As a leading industry consultant and partner, Enspiria is uniquely positioned to assist the coalition and broader community in evaluating the opportunities and impact that Smart Grid poses to utilities and their customers.
According to Kevin Cornish, Executive Consultant at Enspiria Solutions, "The DRSG coalition has been performing outstanding work in the area of demand response for many years, and now has focused their energy and expertise on assisting its utility customers in understanding and participating in the Smart Grid opportunities being generated at the federal and state levels and within the marketplace. These opportunities will continue the work that Enspiria has done to leverage technology to benefit utilities by lowering costs and improving operations, and benefit consumers by providing more choice and information concerning their energy management."
EnspiriaŽ Solutions provides a comprehensive range of consulting and implementation solutions aimed at improving the integration of operational, asset performance, customer service, and energy efficiency systems for the utility, government and cable sectors. Enspiria's goal is to help its clients ensure maximum return on their business and IT investments by effectively aligning proven business processes with sound technologies.
