TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 11/02/16 — ENGIE, a global leader in energy solutions and services, today announced a strategic investment in Opus One Solutions, a smart grid software engineering company enabling the transition to a Connected Energy Internet. The investment in Opus One gives the company expanded reach in Europe and other global markets, and supports further development of the company–s applications for real-time visibility and management of utility distribution grids.
The ENGIE investment adds to a notable year for Opus One Solutions, including a recent investment by Energy Impact Partners (a utility-backed fund representing seven of North America–s largest utilities) and multiple project awards with five utilities in the US and Canada. Two of these projects include the demonstration of industry leading transactive energy functionality in which Opus One–s platform will create markets, tariffs and operational systems that will allow resource providers to monetize products and services, while the utility becomes the purchaser and aggregator of DERs, allowing the customer to have a greater role in how they use energy.
Opus One Solutions has also been recognized with Greentech Media–s Grid Edge 2016 Award, CIO Energy Insights– Top 10 Best Smart Grid Solution Providers and the Canadian Innovation Exchange–s Top 10 Cleantech Ventures.
“ENGIE brings incredible reach and experience to our team,” said Joshua Wong, Founder and CEO of Opus One Solutions. “Given the global trend toward distributed energy solutions, the collaboration with ENGIE will allow Opus One to deliver real-time situational awareness and adaptive control to new markets and customers in need of these capabilities.”

By enabling 100% penetration of clean energy resources, Opus One can unlock new support services and business models for utilities while reducing energy costs for customers.
