Schneider Electric acquires Zeigo to boost Digital Procurement Capabilities Globally
By MYBRANDBOOK
Schneider Electric has acquired start-up climate-tech platform Zeigo to enhance the company’s digital capabilities in energy, sustainability, and environmental commodity consulting.
The acquisition will complement Schneider Electric’s portfolio of clean energy services and solutions and advance the company’s digital energy transformation ambitions.
Juan Pablo Cerda, Zeigo founder and CEO, said, “Zeigo is delighted to join forces with Schneider Electric to continue to accelerate the digital clean energy revolution. Together, we will bring innovative energy solutions to even more companies, to drive impact as they embark on their decarbonization journey.”
Renewable energy procurement is time-consuming and complicated, requiring significant expert evaluation of projects and risks alongside the satisfaction of stakeholders up to and including corporate boards. By combining Zeigo’s AI capabilities with its existing best-in-class advisory services, Schneider Electric will deploy enhanced collaborative intelligence in the energy and environmental commodity procurement process, an ideal complement to existing Schneider Electric solutions for aggregation and digital platforms EcoStruxure Resource Advisor and NEO Network.
Steve Wilhite, SVP for Schneider Electric’s Sustainable Business Division, said, “As the world’s largest advisor to corporations on renewable energy procurement, we know that speed and complexity are two of the barriers that keep some corporations out of the PPA market. By adding the Zeigo technology and team to our existing portfolio of services and solutions, we will be able to provide even greater value to our clients worldwide. My congratulations to Zeigo on this significant milestone.”
The acquisition of the Zeigo machine learning algorithm and 20-person team further contributes to Schneider Electric’s market leadership as the world’s largest and most experienced corporate renewable energy advisor. The company commands a leading market share in the US, Europe, Australia, and emerging geographies like Brazil and its global experts have supported the execution of more than 13,000 megawatts of corporate PPAs since 2014. Schneider’s team has also been responsible for the development of first-of-its-kind, best-in-class programs like the recently announced Energize consortium for the pharmaceutical supply chain. Schneider Electric itself was recognized in 2021 by the Corporate Knights Global 100 Index as the world’s most sustainable company.
