PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — The Portland Business Journal has named Innovari, Inc. a recipient of a 2017 Business Innovation award for its Interactive Energy Platform™ technology. The advanced technology platform creates a virtual power plant in aggregate while enabling utilities to surgically dispatch electric capacity when and where they need it to meet system demand. It has been successfully installed in the U.S., India, Turkey, the Middle East and Latin America.   

The award recognizes companies located in the Portland, Oregon area that are providing a compelling and innovative product or service demonstrating excellence in one or more of these areas: Innovation, Design, Industry Impact, Revenue Growth or a compelling product or service offering.

Innovari participated at the Portland Business Journal award ceremony in early November where all award winners were honored.

“We are pleased to be recognized in our home town of Portland for this award,” said Chris Hickman, CEO & Founder of Innovari. “Outside observers of the electric industry don’t often acknowledge the innovation that takes place in the industry. However, for more than a 100 years utilities have innovated to provide safe, affordable and reliable electricity for society. We thank the Portland Business Journal for recognizing the IEP and our efforts to help utilities partner with their customers and communities to enable clean, new distributed technologies to be introduced into the grid.”

The Interactive Energy Platform uses artificial intelligence, big-data analytics, proprietary optimization routines and deep knowledge of the utility business to optimize the entire energy value chain for utilities and their customers.
