Centrica Business Solutions Names Energy Tech Vet As Senior VP, Will Oversee North American Commercial Operations

Centrica plc, the ultimate parent of Direct Energy, has today launched its distributed energy and power proposition in North America under the new Centrica Business Solutions banner.

The company has also announced the appointment of Stephen Prince to Senior Vice President of Centrica Business Solutions to oversee North America commercial operations.

Prior to joining Centrica, Prince served in a variety of leadership roles, most recently as President and CEO of Younicos, a global leader in battery storage and microgrid solutions sold to Aggreko in July 2017.

"Centrica Business Solutions has been established to help customers harness the power of distributed energy across three key strategy areas – energy insight; energy optimization; and energy solutions, including combined heat and power (CHP), solar, battery storage and standby generators," the company said

As part of this, Panoramic Power Energy Insights, ENER-G Combined Heat and Power, and Rudox Power Generation have been integrated into Centrica Business Solutions, and will work with Centrica's Direct Energy Business team to put customers in control of their energy.

"Energy powers businesses. But energy is changing rapidly. New technologies, from advanced data analytics to new ways of generating and storing power, are creating opportunities for businesses to make their energy work to achieve their business goals," said Jorge Pikunic, global Managing Director of Centrica Business Solutions. "Centrica Business Solutions help businesses capture these opportunities, turning their energy footprint into a source of competitive advantage. In partnership with our sister company Direct Energy Business, we offer an unrivaled portfolio of energy supply and distributed energy solutions."
