Europe's largest energy company E.ON chose Process Vision's GENERIS system

PRESS RELEASE
Process Vision Oy
Stockholm, January 11th 2012
Europe’s largest energy company E.ON chose Process Vision’s GENERIS system
Process Vision Oy and E.ON Elnät Sverige AB have agreed on a delivery of large scale energy IT system for meter data management and balance settlement based on Process Vision’s GENERIS product. The system will eventually manage all the meter data from E.ON’s electricity networks in Sweden including advanced Smart Grid functions with option to manage meter data for gas and district heating.
E.ON is the largest energy company in Sweden with approximately 1.1 million customers. E.ON Elnät Sverige AB belongs to E.ON Group, which is the largest energy company in Europe.
E.ON has already a system for handling its electricity customers’ monthly readings in accordance to the Swedish legislation. The legislation has recently changed so that customers can even be offered hourly readings. Process Vision’s GENERIS system has market leader functions for handling energy information from Smart Metering and Smart Grid systems based on readings in hourly or ever shorter intervals. The background for the legislation change is an EU directive for increased energy efficiency and as a result reduced CO2 emissions.
Regarding the new legislation, Per-Olof Lindholm, the CEO of E.ON Elnät, says: ”We have gone through an intensive and thorough evaluation of renewing our meter data system. We set high demands for functionality, performance and delivery, and have now found a supplier giving us the tools we need. It has also been important for us that the solution takes into account the new targets for reducing CO2 emissions.”
The delivery to E.ON is a very large GENERIS installation. ”We are very glad and proud to have been chosen by E.ON. This GENERIS delivery is an important milestone for Process Vision and it strengthens our leading position in the Nordic and European energy markets. Our experience of many similar deliveries in Nordic countries and Europe will ensure the best solution for current and upcoming market requirements for the energy data management in Sweden. GENERIS functions also cover processes for energy efficiency and Smart Grid for meeting the European 20/20/20 target”, says Åge Lønning, the CEO of Elis Holding AS.

EPV Energy updates its energy data management with Process Vision’s GENERIS system
10/March/2011 14:04
EPV Energy Ltd has taken Process Vision Oy’s GENERIS energy data system into production use for energy procurement management. EPV Energy, a balance responsible company that owns or has stakes in several production plants and production companies, uses the system for energy data management and billing.
The new system has a central role in EPV Energy’s key business processes. It is responsible for creating load, production and cost forecasts, as well as managing emission rights and emission reduction trades data. The new GENERIS system offers flexible and efficient tools for billing of open deliveries and for managing accounts with EPV Energy’s stakeholders. It does also energy reporting to shareholders and regulatory authorities.
”We needed a new generation system solution to meet our diverse and continuously expanding energy procurement planning and management operations. During the system acquisition process we became aware of the GENERIS platform’s strengths in meter data management and calculations. When the system delivery project started, we were pleased to note that a wide variety of functionalities, including process workflows, customizable control and follow-up screens, and mandatory reporting can all be built flexibly via system parameterisation, and this enabled rapid implementation for production deployment. The platform also provides a solid basis for future reporting that will be needed for billing and business planning” says Mr Reima Neva, EPV Energy’s CIO
”Working within a tight project schedule, we implemented a comprehensive information system solution that will fulfill EPV Energy’s business needs well into the future. The phased system deployment from test usage to production went according to plan, and we could react quickly to find solutions for needs that became evident over the course of the project. The customer’s strong energy business know-how in combination with Process Vision’s system expertise produced a highly functional entity whose expandability and scalability guarantee a high performance IT solution for the long term for EPV Energy” concludes Mr Juha-Pekka Einamo, Process Vision’s head of consulting.

Herkules III acquires Process Vision to be part of a new leading Nordic energy IT solution provider
02/March/2011 14:03
As the Nordic energy markets are consolidating and smart metering increasing, it has become obvious that also IT system providers must grow in order to meet these new challenges. As a part of this development, Process Vision has analyzed different market options and came to a conclusion that we would better make changes in our current business model. Hence, we have come to a solution, in which we combine our efforts with Norwegian Elis AS and Popkorn AS. This enables our company’s and products’ entry to the hectic Norwegian markets in a situation, when the decision on smart metering implementation has been made. Simultaneously this cooperation enables us to increase our position in the consolidating Nordic markets and strengthen the role of our GENERIS system as the leading meter and energy data management system at the business sector. Additionally we will receive significant support in launching our GENERIS Energy Vertical as a Pan-Nordic product, by taking in use Elis’ over 20-years-long experience in developing customer information systems to the Norwegian markets.
In the company reforming Norwegian Elis AS Holding investor company will own 100% of the shares of Process Vision, Elis AS and Norwegian consultant company Popkorn. Process Vision’s current owners and key management will re-invest in Elis AS holding company. Additionally Herkules III Fund will invest in the holding company. This new entity will be a company with 250 employees, whose revenue will be approximately 30 million euros in 2011. Therefore it will be a very significant software supplier in the Nordic energy sector, as in Central Europe in Process Vision’s current market areas. This reforming will increase Process Vision’s operations and product selection in its current business areas.
We believe that this new arrangement enhance our current cooperation providing even wider offering to the Pan-Nordic energy markets.
