Meir Iokls, partner at venture capital ICV told Calcalist, “rules of the game in the electricity market world changed.

The result is a complex challenge balancing the supply and demand of electricity, and the difficulty in predicting consumption. Add to this the process of deregulation in the electricity market, which increases the need for manufacturers and utility providers to get closer to their customers, offering them value-added services, prices and offer them customized efficiency programs and prevent abandonment, and we get a market going through a revolution and need innovative solutions. “
