DNV acquires ANB Systems

Energy efficiency and energy management play a critical role in the transition – using less energy is one of the easiest and often the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions. By integrating ANB's well established business process management software with DNV's expertise, DNV aims to facilitate its customers’ journey towards decarbonised, safe, and efficient energy systems.

ANB Systems has expertise in developing digital solutions that simplify, automate, and standardise processes for energy efficiency, electric vehicles (EVs), distributed generation, interconnection, and line and pole management. ANB's platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, offers advanced capabilities that improve user experience, ensure data robustness, and provide deep insights across utility portfolios. With AI integration, ANB's software enables efficient anomaly detection, streamlined workflows, and enhanced customer service interactions.

This acquisition will enable DNV to leverage ANB's ready and configurable solutions, allowing utility and government customers to swiftly deploy and manage multiple energy schemes – ultimately expediting time-to-market and enhancing integration with existing portfolios.

Remi Eriksen, Group President and CEO of DNV, said: "Energy efficiency is one of the defining features of the energy transition and the acquisition of ANB, with its strong focus on quality software solutions, will strengthen and expand our offerings in energy management and related services, particularly in North America."

Richard S. Barnes, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, Energy Systems North America at DNV, said: “Just over a year ago the Inflation Reduction Act was introduced in the US, bringing major opportunities to accelerate the energy transition on both the supply and demand side. I believe the timing to acquire ANB is perfect, as we seek to capitalise on the opportunities ahead and support our clients in achieving their sustainability goals."
