San Jose, CA, August 24, 2021: Networked Energy Services Corporation (NES), a global smart grid solution provider with the industry’s leading Energy Applications Platform (EAP^TM), is proud to announce its partnership with Prointer ITSS.

By bringing proven, reliable and repeatable project execution skills to smart metering projects and applying its skills in global transformation of energy networks, Prointer ITSS, as a trusted partner of NES, will help to drive the smart energy transition in the Balkans.

“Our relationship with Prointer ITSS will accelerate the smart energy transition in Balkans”, says David Thomson, CEO of NES. “Our AMI solution is a leader in facing up to the practicalities of establishing, operating, maintaining and securing high-technology deployments to achieve tangible business outcomes which will fuel the transition in this geography.”
