Kalkitech, a leading provider of distributed energy resources (DER) Integration solutions, and MicroEJ, a global leader in Secure App Solutions for electronic devices, announced their strategic partnership to accelerate grid-edge intelligence and next-generation AMI 2.0 infrastructure. As the energy sector grapples with the increasing complexity of managing distributed energy resources (DERs) and transitioning to AMI 2.0 capable grids, Kalkitech and MicroEJ are combining forces to foster the deployment of advanced application ecosystems in energy management, enabling utilities to unlock the full potential of edge intelligence.
At the center of this collaboration is VEE Energy, MicroEJ’s lightweight, secure software solution that that delivers intelligent and scalable applications on energy devices such as NIC boards, load switches, smart meters and other grid devices. VEE Energy simplifies grid modernization by allowing utilities to integrate energy applications seamlessly across existing hardware and create app ecosystems, minimizing upgrade costs while future-proofing existing infrastructure.
