Dive Summary:

• Analytics company Urjanet is connecting at least 800 utilities with their customers who urgently need smart meter data to implement energy efficiency programs.
• Urjanet provides data-as-a-service with products such as utilityConnect, which extracts a company's utility data for energy efficiency companies and their commercial and industrial clients. “We want to be the energy data service for the world,” CEO Sanjoy Malik said.
• The company has plans to launch meterConnect to offer interval meter data. Urjanet wants to add more intelligent data to building energy management systems such as a stream that culls hourly data from 4,000 weather stations and another stream that alerts customers about changes in tariff rates and peak consumption.

From the article:

"Many of Urjanet’s customers white-label the product and integrate it into their own applications, which are then sold to commercial and industrial customers that want to better understand or cut energy use. Urjanet estimates there are about 450 energy management companies that could use its offering. It’s not just pure-play energy-efficiency companies; Urjanet is also working with companies like Genability, which helps to reduce the soft costs of solar installations."
