DNV has bought Houston-based ANB Systems, a software as a service (SaaS) company providing energy program services to utility and regulatory body customers.
According to DNV, this move is intended to strengthen the company's energy transition skill set. Energy efficiency and energy management play a critical role in the transition – using less energy is one of the easiest and often the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions.
By integrating ANB's well established business process management software with DNV's expertise, DNV aims to facilitate its customers’ journey towards decarbonized, safe, and efficient energy systems.
Founded in 1997, ANB Systems has gained expertise in developing digital solutions that simplify, automate, and standardize processes for energy efficiency, electric vehicles, distributed generation, interconnection, and line & pole management.
ANB's platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, offers advanced capabilities that improve user experience, ensure data robustness, and provide deep insights across utility portfolios. With AI integration, ANB's software enables efficient anomaly detection, streamlined workflows, and enhanced customer service interactions.
This acquisition will enable DNV to leverage ANB's ready and configurable solutions, allowing utility and government customers to swiftly deploy and manage multiple energy schemes – ultimately expediting time-to-market and enhancing integration with existing portfolios.
Over the years, DNV has forged a partnership with ANB and the two companies have collaborated on numerous engagements, leading to a thorough assessment of the market for clean energy program software platforms.
