June 08, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

CertiNergy Group and Wattics Ltd. announced a partnership to fast-track energy efficiency projects throughout Europe, by aligning Wattics' big data and analytics capabilities with CertiNergy's Group's large portfolio of commercial and industrial clients. The innovative partnership aims to help CertiNergy Group redefine the way energy performance contracting and energy efficient certificates are managed, and to accelerate adoption of energy conservation measures, which are grounded in four core capabilities: A new class of self-learning analytical energy management tools to empower CertiNergy professionals managing thousands of sites throughout Europe in real-time; Unique Wattics cloud services to automate the measurement and verification practices of energy conservation projects through European-adopted standard (IPMVP); Wattics agile services and support tailored to the needs of the CertiNergy's clients; and Scalable Cloud-based energy management platform with wastage discovery engine, tariff analyzer, saving projections, energy breakdown and an outstanding user experience.

The new partnership aims to lead the big energy data analytics, energy performance contracting and saving certification markets through collaboration that draws on the distinct strengths of each company: Wattics, a Dublin-based team of talented engineers with a proven track record of software innovation, fused with CertiNergy Group’s energy saving solutions, energy certifications, project financing and outstanding consumer care.

As was pointed out by Edouard Jounet, CertiNergy’s co-founder and head of the group’s international division, “The CertiNergy Group doesn’t plan on becoming a software development company. Our aim is to partner with select providers that offer the best software solutions on the market, and Wattics clearly meets this description. We are convinced by Wattics’ innovative technology and the synergies between our respective offers are evident. This kind of collaboration makes sense in CertiNergy’s broader strategy to bring an improved and operational Energy Management service to our clients and partners.”

Wattics’ CEO Antonio Ruzzelli commented, ”We are absolutely delighted to partner with CertiNergy Group. The EU 2020 energy-efficiency targets are at the heart of our partnership and we are dedicated to assisting CertiNergy to make an impact towards this. Wattics has a history of innovation and we will keep on innovating so to provide differentiations and a competitive advantage for our partners. Our analytics bring energy data to life, creating insights and context for energy managers. Our technology has already helped global organisations to achieve better use, better production and better distribution of energy. Our mission is to empower energy professionals and utilities to simplify and promote their crucial work, streamline how energy variables are accounted for and deliver outstanding customer satisfaction.”
