Affiliate of Texas REP Enters Partnership With Three Hotel Franchisers, Cites Synergistic Opportunities For Retail Supply

Zen Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The CHRON Organization, Inc. and an affiliate of Texas retail electric provider Enertrade Electric, announced today that it has entered into the first stage of a partnership agreement with, "three of the nation's leading hotel franchisers."

"The group is led by the Houston-based, Ameristar Hospitality Group and represents more than 300 hotels owned between the three groups," CHRON said

Under the agreement, Zen Technologies will offer the hotel groups its Zen Zero-Cost Program, which offers various energy-saving and efficiency technologies, such as LED lighting, occupancy sensors, smart thermostats, and attachable motor controls, without customers paying anything out-of-pocket or incurring any new liabilities to balance sheets.

"This also will provide synergistic opportunities for Enertrade Electric, LLC, the Company's Retail Electric Provider, to offer advanced commercial electricity monthly service plans to the hotels in the three groups that are located in Texas, some of which have annual electricity bills currently in the hundreds of thousands of dollars," CHRON said

The first stage commenced this week and includes the implementation of Zen's products and services for a pre-selected 10 hotels. This first group will serve as a case study and help to generate marketing materials that will be useful in further targeting the hospitality industry.
