Global Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT) software leader Envision Digital, and global solar developer Lightsource bp, have announced a multi-year, global partnership to accelerate the growth and optimization of solar power in the fight against climate change.
Lightsource bp is targeting the development of 25GW of solar power projects globally by 2025, delivering renewable power at scale and with the urgency the climate crisis requires.
Lightsource bp recognizes Envision Digital's unique expertise in AIoT and digital transformation, and has selected Envision Digital to be its advanced analytics partner for its existing and rapidly growing portfolio of solar projects globally.
The partnership with Envision Digital will see Lightsource bp leveraging the AIoT platform to gain data-driven insights to enable automation, efficiency, and value—and ultimately, substantial volumes of additional low-carbon power.
As the global AIoT software leader for Net Zero, Envision Digital continues to focus on partnerships. We see a lot of synergies with Lightsource bp and our teams are rapidly deploying and scaling technology to power the energy transition together.
—said Michael Ding, Global Executive Director of Envision.
By leveraging this partnership with Envision Digital, and more than a decade of solar experience, Lightsource bp expects to be able to deliver greater value at scale and enact a real change on the global energy landscape.
Deploying solar power at pace means making the most of projects once they are up and running. It's not just about the cost of capital and your project execution. Lightsource bp has an exceptional reputation on both fronts and once all that hard work is done, we don't want to waste a single photon.
—said Nick Boyle, Group CEO, Lightsource bp.
"The partnership with Envision Digital gives us an anatomical level of insight on our assets to optimise them remotely and drive improvements," he added.
Envision Digital's AIoT platform, EnOS™, currently connects and manages more than 110 million smart devices, and supports more than 360GW of clean energy assets globally.
Lightsource bp, established to deliver affordable and sustainable solar power for businesses and communities worldwide, is a 50:50 joint venture with global energy major bp.
