LISBON, Portugal and HOUTEN, The Netherlands, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Energyworx, a SaaS-based platform for Energy Data Management that helps utility companies navigate and monetize the energy transition, today announced a EUR1 million Series A extension funding round, led by EDP Ventures, the venture capital arm of EDP.

"EDP is one of the most advanced, forward thinking utility companies in the world and a very important customer for Energyworx," said Marcel E. Smit, CEO of Energyworx.

The addition of EDP Ventures to our board, combined with their knowledge and international industry contacts will be indispensable as we enter the next phase of expansion."

Recognized for the past three years in the Gartner 'Magic Quadrant' for Meter Data Management (MDM). Energyworx has achieved significant growth in recent years, adding a number of global utilities to its list of customers and rolling out an enterprise-grade, intelligent MDM solutions platform for utilities.

"The energy transition towards a sustainable energy world continues to rapidly evolve.
