ETB's Acumen EMS™ controls are now deployed in the Northeast. We partnered with Nexamp to deploy a 1,000kW front-of-the-meter energy storage system on a community solar farm in Deerfield, Massachusetts.

The solar + storage system is helping reduce utility costs for participating local residents. Acumen EMS is also allowing the system to leverage both the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) and Clean Peak Standard programs.
