“The combination of PRTI’s distributed energy resource production of green power and the EnergyNet® software suite is one of the first true implementations of transactive energy services for the new distributed electric power grid.”
Franklinton, NC, USA (PRWEB) December 06, 2016
PRTI will utilize Causam’s EnergyNet® software platform to sell its distributed energy back to the power grid through local utilities and open regional energy markets across North America. Causam Energy announced the commercial release of its EnergyNet® Distributed Energy Resource transactional platform in September, 2016. This multi-year partnership between two rapidly expanding North Carolina companies includes a combination of shared strategic goals and associated investment and vision about the future.
Jason A Williams, President and CEO of PRTI said, “We are excited to partner with Causam, their CEO Joe Forbes, and the entire team. Causam are natural partners for us as we implement and expand our green energy creation thesis. From waste, to Watts to cents, the Causam-PRTI team can now truly harness and monetize waste materials, starting with car tires.” Joe Forbes, CEO of Causam Energy, said “The combination of PRTI’s distributed energy resource production of green power and the EnergyNet® software suite is one of the first true implementations of transactive energy services for the new distributed electric power grid.”
This announcement also confirms the personal investment in Causam by Jason Williams. Jason explained, “while investigating the opportunity for both businesses to work together, it became a natural choice for me to add Causam to my investment portfolio.” The details of the investment were not disclosed.
PRTI and Causam look to support the evolution and growth of the distributed energy resource and microgrid industry by creating a pathway to value for energy system producers, consumers, regulators, utilities and de-regulated energy markets. Joe Forbes, CEO of Causam, commented “The continued growth of Causam relies on key partners like PRTI. PRTI’s unique Thermal Demanufacturing is a fantastic way to convert waste into energy, and the EnergyNet® transactional platform will enable the easy monetization of PRTI’s environmentally progress production of green power.”
