bp and Infosys to Develop 'Energy as a Service' Solution for Campuses and Cities
BENGALURU, India, October 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    bp [https://www.bp.com/], a global integrated energy company, and Infosys 
[http://www.infosys.com/], (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY), a global 
leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced that 
they have agreed to develop and pilot an energy as a service (EaaS) solution,  
which will aim to help businesses improve the energy efficiency of 
infrastructure, and help meet their decarbonization goals. 

   Infosys and bp intend to co-develop a digital platform that can collect data 
from multiple energy assets and use artificial intelligence to optimize the 
energy supply and demand for power, heat, cooling and EV charging. The 
companies will pilot the digital platform at the Infosys Pune Development 
Center – in an environment that replicates a small city, where energy is 
generated, stored, and consumed at multiple points. Once the pilot is 
successful, they will aim to roll this model out across other Infosys campuses 
in India, and with some clients, to help manage energy and help reduce 
emissions. 

   In addition, the companies have agreed to collaborate on integrating solar 
energy production into the campus' energy system. Energy that is generated 
through this integration will be monitored and optimized by the digital 
platform and can be stored or redirected to the building power supply, heating 
and cooling systems, and also to an EV charging infrastructure. 

   Sashi Mukundan, President, bp India and Senior Vice President, bp Group, 
said, "At bp, we set out to provide solutions to enable cities and hard to 
abate industries decarbonize. Integrating advances in energy, mobility and 
digital technologies and services has huge potential to accelerate the progress 
towards a more sustainable and resilient future. By bringing together our 
complementary capabilities, products, and services from bp's different joint 
ventures in India, bp and Infosys can help each other – and our customers – 
achieve energy and sustainability goals faster."

   Pravin Rao, Chief Operating Officer, Infosys, said, "Infosys shares bp's 
ambitions for a net zero carbon future. Our collaboration with bp further 
strengthens our long-standing commitment towards sustainability and supports 
our ambitious ESG goals. We will now bring together the best of digital 
technologies – advanced AI, connected digital systems, experience design, 
analytics – and decarbonization to create an integrated energy and mobility 
offering. Together, bp and Infosys can create compelling and sustainable value 
for our customers globally."
