Osaka, Japan, Oct 15, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Panasonic Corporation announced its Home Energy Management System (HEMS) has received the European Utility Award 2010 in the Customer Excellence category at the 12th Annual metering, Billing/CRM Europe conference and exhibition in Vienna, a leading and innovative utility trade show in Europe. Panasonic became the first Japanese company to win this recognition.
The Customer Excellence Award honors an innovative service in the field of energy in Europe that brings high levels of customer satisfaction and a change in customer behavior. Panasonic was recognized for its pioneering initiative to spread customer-oriented, user-friendly and fully-featured home energy management solutions to homes in Europe through its partnership with SEAS-NVE, Denmark's largest consumer-owned energy company.
"What really separates the Panasonic offering from others is the way in which it relates to the customer in an intuitive, non-technical, fun, aesthetic and customizable manner, moving beyond the industry's standard of graphs and numbers. The Panasonic approach brings functionality, practicality and appeal together," the award citation says.
Towards a low carbon society, Europe has seen increased activity in field testing and commercialization in the HEMS related areas such as smart meters and smart grids. With HEMS at the core, Panasonic continues to promote its comprehensive environment and energy solution business through participation in pilot projects organized by utility companies in Europe.
