      Joining Evergen’s world-class team and leading energy orchestration software products with Intellihub’s leading smart metering technology will simplify the energy transition for all Australians. Combining Intellihub's technology and leading ANZ smart meter footprint with Evergen's intelligent software creates value for retailers and consumers by enabling game-changing energy orchestration products. Intellihub, owned by Brookfield and Pacific Equity Partners, has acquired Evergen – a leading Australian distributed energy resource services business. The acquisition will help energy retailers, networks and hardware manufacturers innovate and develop products that enable customers to reduce energy costs and transition to clean energy solutions more rapidly. Evergen’s software provides connectivity, control, orchestration and fleet management solutions for distributed energy resources on behalf of its energy retailer, distribution network, consumer, and business customers. These services help them maximise the returns from adopting renewable energy products so they can benefit from the transition to clean energy.
