EIPGrid Inc. and Rainforest Automation Combine AI and Real-Time Data to Launch a Digital Energy Consultant via an Energy as a Service model

SEOUL, South Korea & VANCOUVER, Canada — [May 15, 2026] — EIPGrid Inc., a leader in AI-powered energy management, and Rainforest Automation, a pioneer in energy data analytics, today announced a strategic partnership to transform the energy landscape across North America and the Asia-Pacific region. The collaboration is launching an advanced Digital Energy Consultant: —an AI-driven solution designed to empower Commercial & Industrial (C&I) users to achieve energy efficiency, cost savings, and decarbonization, while supporting utility-run programs to achieve flexibility with unprecedented precision. EIPGrid brings AI-driven energy optimization and EaaS program design, while Rainforest Automation provides real-time energy data, customer engagement tools, and execution support at the site level. 

As utilities and C&I customers face rising demand, higher costs, and growing pressure to manage flexible load, real-time visibility and actionable recommendations are becoming essential to energy management. This partnership merges EIPGrid’s cutting-edge AI service suite, —Power Sight and Energy Saver, —with Rainforest Automation’s deep expertise in high-resolution data analytics and hardware-to-software system control.

The Digital Energy Consultant: AI-Driven Efficiency

The core of this partnership is the delivery of a Digital Energy Consultant that acts as an intelligent energy flexibility orchestrator. Specifically tailored for C&I users and utility demand-side management programs, this AI-enabled service provides:

• Real-Time Monitoring & Visualization: Live visibility into site-level energy usage, helping customers and utilities understand performance while decisions can still be made. 

• AI-Driven Energy Efficiency Recommendations: Practical recommendations for reducing energy waste, managing peaks, and shifting load where operationally feasible.

• Direct Load Shaping: The solution is designed to help C&I users and utility demand-side management programs identify savings opportunities, monitor performance, and take timely action.

Putting Users in the Driver’s Seat: SaaS and EaaS Delivery

In the North American market, the partnership offers a flexible delivery model designed to align with modern corporate financial strategies. In addition to standard Software as a Service (SaaS), the solution is available as Energy as a Service (EaaS).

The EaaS model reduces upfront cost barriers and aligns fees with delivered outcomes, including verified savings, improved energy performance, and customer participation. Built on a "pay for performance" logic, this model ensures that the partnership’s interests are perfectly aligned with the client’s: revenue and fees are tied directly to the actual energy savings and performance outcomes achieved.

"Our mission has always been to simplify complex energy challenges through AI," said Tony Lee, CEO of EIPGrid Inc. "By joining forces with Rainforest, we are providing a Digital Energy Consultant that transforms how C&I users interact with the grid. This isn't just about data; it’s about providing an EaaS model where we win only when our customers save."

"Rainforest Automation is dedicated to making energy data accessible and actionable," said Chris Tumpach, CEO of Rainforest Automation. "Integrating our analytics engine into EIPGrid’s AI ecosystem allows us to offer a unified solution: —from equipment-level data capture to high-level strategic load shaping; —delivered through a performance-based model that the North American market is demanding."

Market Focus and Reach

The partnership is uniquely positioned to address the evolving needs of the North American and Asia-Pacific energy markets. Together, EIPGrid and Rainforest Automation bridge AI-driven optimization with real-time customer-level execution, helping utilities and C&I users move from energy insight to measurable performance—all without massive capital outlays, thanks to the EaaS delivery model.
