Information technology firm Infosys on December 12 announced a partnership with German energy service provider RheinEnergie to help enterprises drive the energy transition and sustainability agenda forward.

"The collaboration will leverage the Infosys Energy Cloud, which is part of Infosys Cobalt, a set of services, solutions, and platforms for enterprises to accelerate their cloud journey, and Infosys Topaz, an AI-first offering using Generative AI technologies," the company said in a release.

RheinEnergie’s experience in providing energy services will help enterprises monitor, control, and optimise their energy landscape while meeting decarbonisation goals.

Infosys will help RheinEnergie implement solutions in cloud, data, artificial intelligence, and Industry 4.0 to help enterprises cut costs, and improve energy efficiency.

Together they will help decentralise the energy transition by developing solutions that connect renewable generation, storage, energy markets and grids, energy-consuming assets, and empower enterprises to choose the best low-carbon energy sources.

The collaboration will focus on RheinEnergie customers in key sectors, including travel and transportation (passengers and freight), commercial real estate, and the manufacturing industry.

It will aim to deliver actionable recommendations to help enterprises boost their energy efficiency by up to 30–40 percent.

Stephan Segbers, Chief Sales Officer and member of the board, RheinEnergie, said the firm believes that innovative technological and digital solutions are intrinsic to achieving Germany’s planned transition to a low-carbon, nuclear-free economy. "Together, we can accelerate the transition to a clean energy future for a healthier planet,” Segbers was quoted as saying in the release.

Ashiss Kumar Dash, Executive Vice President & Global Head - Services, Utilities, Resources, Energy, and Sustainability, at Infosys, said the Bengaluru-based company recognises the urgency of this shift and is committed to helping enterprises across Europe navigate their energy transition journey. "This allows enterprises to gain a deeper understanding of their energy consumption patterns, identify areas for optimisation, and ultimately meet their decarbonisation goals,” Dash was quoted as saying.
