BOSTON, July 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnerNOC, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENOC), a leading provider of energy intelligence software (EIS), today announced the release of its newest software update. This update includes the Company's new predictive energy algorithm and tariff engine, empowering enterprise customers to predict energy costs with a high degree of accuracy. The new capabilities provide a granular view into future energy usage and spend to help users optimize consumption and reduce peak demand charges, which can comprise 30% or more of total monthly electricity costs.
"Whether a customer has one site, ten sites, or 1,000, the demand management capabilities in this software update are beneficial," said Micah Remley, Vice President of Product Strategy and Technology at EnerNOC. "This release takes what we do exceptionally well in demand response at the system level, arms customers with the information to understand when they are at risk of setting a new individual peak – and how much money could be saved by avoiding it – and empowers them to be proactive in taking control of energy costs and mitigating expenses."
The addition of predictive capabilities to EnerNOC's energy intelligence platform, coupled with customer-specific tariff data from Genability, which the Company invested in earlier this year, gives users the visibility they need in financial terms to make informed operational decisions, such as when it is worth shifting load or curtailing energy intensive activities. Independent research firm Verdantix notes, "EnerNOC is placing significant emphasis on the actual cost of energy as opposed to the absolute level of power consumption."

"To control the costs of most commodities, it's about managing price per unit and how much you use overall. Energy is unique because there's a third dimension – when you use it – that has a significant impact on your total bill. EnerNOC's predictive analytics engine gives enterprises the unparalleled ability to plan ahead and make small but timely operational adjustments that unlock big savings," said Tim Healy, Chairman and CEO of EnerNOC.
This update also integrates EnerNOC University, EnerNOC's library of training materials, into the application, allowing users to consume on-demand webinars, how-to videos, and other instructional content.
