Greentech Media recently recognized Zen Ecosystems as a 2017 Grid Edge Award winner.

The Grid Edge Award recognizes leading companies and projects that incorporate distributed energy resources, energy-enabled customers, and other emerging trends that are upending the century-old concept of centralized, unidirectional electricity delivery.

Zen was honored for their customer deployment with National Stores, a retail chain with more than 360 locations across the US and Puerto Rico.

Working with the Zen HQ cloud platform, which offers low-cost and simple installation compared to many commercial building energy management offerings, National Stores was able to reduce energy bills by more than 25 percent compared to the prior year, and it is expected to deliver payback in less than a year, compared to three to five years with traditional solutions
