Power Magazine Features Moore

Coreworx — Acorn’s next major step in transforming the architecture of energy — The Intelligent Power Plant

Today energy producers have no shortage of opportunity or money. There is however a crisis of a lack of experienced people to staff the growth opportunities. Coreworx software is a mission critical tool that is used by Fluor, the world’s largest engineering company, to improve the efficiency of its design of energy infrastructure. At Acorn we were impressed that Coreworx won a 100 company competition at Chevron. Coreworx turned to Acorn to provide the growth capital to help it expand its growth at other engineering and energy companies.

Coreworx fits into the Acorn portfolio because it is run by experienced entrepreneurs, has proven technology that has been adopted by high profile reference customers and operates in an overlooked niche of the energy sector and is an enabling technology for intelligent energy infrastructure.

The dynamic of our society will increasingly obey the logic of networks. Acorn Energy is a pioneer in the creation of the Smart Grid through Comverge and Gridsense. We believe that the next major opportunity is to create software to enable the smart power plant.
