Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a leading global energy technology company, was named to Greentech Media’s Grid Edge 20 today as one of the 20 most innovative firms working to architect the electric power industry’s future. Awardees were selected for their contribution to grid edge technology transformation, increasingly critical at a time when utility business models are facing a changing market and more distributed energy resources are coming online.

“We are honored to be chosen as one of the recipients of this prestigious award for the second year,” said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. “The grid edge represents the critical nexus where distributed clean energy generation must be integrated with the utility grid infrastructure, a process in which Enphase and the other award winners are actively engaged. For example, our recent collaboration with Hawaiian Electric demonstrates how the use of smart solar and energy management technology can help stabilize and strengthen the grid.”

Greentech Media—with its extensive industry reach and analytical expertise—leveraged ongoing interaction with power utilities as well as energy stakeholders and other thought leaders to identify the Grid Edge 20. Greentech Media’s Grid Edge Executive Council members also voted to help determine the final award recipients.

“The Grid Edge 20 is an annual benchmark for our industry,” said Steve Propper, director of grid edge at Greentech Media. “This year’s group is made up of technology vendors like Enphase making the greatest impact on the market in terms of deploying disruptive solutions commercially. It also includes utilities making smart investments to optimize their distribution network architecture and prepare for the future architecture of the grid.”

The Grid Edge 20 is part of the Grid Edge program at Greentech Media, which includes original research from GTM Research, the Grid Edge Executive Council, events such as Grid Edge Live 2015 and ongoing news and multimedia coverage.

Grid Edge Live 2015, being held in San Diego from June 23-25, will bring together Grid Edge 20 companies and more than 500 executive and thought leader attendees. The event will highlight how grid modernization technologies, the advanced energy consumer, and new policies and business models are transforming the future of the electric grid. Ameet Konkar, Enphase’s director of strategic initiatives, will be discussing distributed asset management and the impact of customer-sited resources on traditional grid operations at the conference on June 25.
