SAN MATEO, Calif. and NEW YORK, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- eMeter Corporation, a leader in Smart Grid management software today announced that IBM is the recipient of eMeter's 2011 Partner Excellence Award. IBM is being recognized for its partnership efforts in working with eMeter and the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), the body responsible for coordinating generation and transmission of power in the province of Ontario, Canada.
eMeter announced IBM's award at the 2011 eMeter Leadership Conference, taking place May 9-11, 2011 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The conference brings together industry leaders in smart meter data management to discuss current trends and best practices, share ideas and experiences, and connect with like-minded professionals.
eMeter has recognized IBM for partnering with IESO in rolling out one of the world's largest Smart Grid projects with a central market meter data management system for 76 utilities to support the new energy policies for the province of Ontario.
