BOSTON, Dec. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnerNOC, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENOC), a leading provider of clean and intelligent energy solutions, today announced that it has acquired Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx) firm Cogent Energy, Inc. By integrating Cogent Energy's extensive commissioning and engineering experience into EnerNOC's MBCx energy efficiency application, EnerNOC will be able to deliver even more value to its rapidly growing customer base.
"We're excited to combine forces with EnerNOC, helping to enhance the functionality of EnerNOC's MBCx energy efficiency application and to introduce EnerNOC's leading product suite to our existing customer base," said Tom Riley, Co-founder of Cogent Energy, who along with his team, has joined the energy efficiency business unit at EnerNOC.
Cogent Energy's solutions enable EnerNOC to service smaller facilities with less sophisticated controls systems, which significantly increases the size of the addressable market for EnerNOC's MBCx energy efficiency application. EnerNOC plans to build on Cogent Energy's present and past work with more than 200 customers nationwide, including California State University, University of California, the City and County of San Francisco, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the State of California. Cogent Energy's experienced engineers will leverage their deep energy expertise to enhance the proprietary analytic filters within EnerNOC's MBCx application that process energy data captured from building management systems and automatically identify, quantify, and track energy savings opportunities.
"The market for MBCx represents a huge growth opportunity for EnerNOC. We've already experienced early successes with our in-house built application and established ourselves as a leader in the rapidly evolving MBCx industry," said Tim Healy, Chairman and CEO of EnerNOC. "Combining Cogent Energy's expertise with the automated power of MBCx will enable EnerNOC to deliver one of the most powerful energy efficiency offerings in the world."
"Assisting our clients in their pursuit of operating efficient facilities while helping to promote a sustainable environment is our number one priority," said Tom Arnold, Vice President of Energy Efficiency and Carbon Management Solutions at EnerNOC. "Cogent Energy has worked with universities, local governments, commercial properties, utilities, and dozens of other industries to extract significant value from energy efficiency investments."
