Executive Summary

On December 7, 2010, Hara announced its largest carbon and energy software deal to date and its first customer in the Middle East. The deal with the government-owned Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) will see Hara’s Environmental and Energy Management (EEM) software deployed across over 200,000 facilities. Working with Hara, ADWEA aims to implement an energy efficiency programme to achieve an estimated $3 billion in cost savings over the next 10 years. ADWEA also aims to use Hara to implement its first 5-year sustainability strategy which targets energy efficiency, renewable and nuclear energy development and environmental compliance. Hara’s strong functionality for energy management, energy and carbon reduction, project and portfolio management tools, financial resources and strategic partner network made the firm a good fit with ADWEA’s strategy. Strategic energy management software deals will become more frequent as carbon and energy move onto the C-Level agenda.
