After three successful pilot projects with TEA clients, eSmart Systems and TEA (The Energy Authority) have signed a strategic partnership agreement to deliver analytics services.

On March 2nd TEA announced the launch of “TEA Connected Analytics” as a service on their Energy Symposium in Jacksonville, Florida.

Valuable partnership

The two companies have now conducted three successful pilot projects with TEA clients, and as a result, they have signed a strategic partnership agreement to deliver analytics services to clients of TEA in the US.

New core service

TEA is currently serving more than 50 public power utilities nationwide from their headquarter in Jacksonville, Florida, with additional offices in Seattle (Bellevue), Washington.

Provides expertise

The service is based on eSmart Systems’ Connected Utility platform, which will provide the underlying data management and machine learning analysis systems. The Connected Utility platform is built in close cooperation with Microsoft, based on their Microsoft Azure services.

“One of the advantages with our collaboration is, not only does eSmart Systems have a very rich toolset in the connected grid application, but the approach to how they implement projects and the support that they provide behind that, and of course; the essence of who they are as a company, comments Tom Harvey, CIO of The Energy Authority.
