Vancouver, BC, May 28, 2024—Copperleaf® Technologies Inc. (TSX: CPLF) (“Copperleaf” or the “Company”) announces the selection of its asset investment planning and decision analytics solution by ESB (Electricity Supply Board) Networks, the company responsible for building, operating, maintaining and developing the electricity network in the Republic of Ireland.
Serving 2.5 million customers, ESB Networks operates across the entire network–from generation, through transmission and distribution, to supply. The organization needed an out-of-the-box solution that could enhance decision making, optimize investment planning, and assist in regulatory reporting.
