Infomethys entered into a partnership agreement with ENECHANGE to expand sales of BridgeLAB DR, a demand-response support service for retail electricity providers. By leveraging ENECHANGE’s business network with retail electricity providers, Infomethys will expand proposals and sales of BridgeLAB DR and accelerate the acquisition of new customers.
Infomethys has entered into a partnership with ENECHANGE to expand sales of “BridgeLAB DR,” a demand-response support service for retail electricity providers offered by ENECHANGE. Through the partnership, the two companies plan to leverage the business network ENECHANGE has built and promote proposals and sales of BridgeLAB DR.
Retail electricity providers face the challenge of curbing power procurement costs in response to capacity contribution charges and price fluctuations in the wholesale electricity market. Against this backdrop, the use of demand response (DR), which enables flexible adjustment of customers’ electricity consumption, is expanding. Infomethys supports DR initiatives for customers through BridgeLAB DR, which uses AI, and the cumulative number of companies applying had exceeded 30 as of 15 October 2026.
ENECHANGE will strengthen proposals and sales of BridgeLAB DR by expanding customer touchpoints through its electricity and gas comparison and switching services, as well as by providing systems that support the digitalisation of the electricity business. Following this partnership, the companies aim to expand business opportunities by using ENECHANGE’s customer touchpoints, building on their existing collaboration. The number of registered retail electricity providers in Japan stood at 823 as of 30 September 2026, and Infomethys believes there is room to expand the service’s customer base.
Going forward, the companies plan to promote the adoption of BridgeLAB DR and expand its functions and services, combining electricity data analysis technology and AI with the business platforms of partner companies to contribute to more advanced supply-and-demand operations and the effective use of renewable energy. With the mission “Changing the future of daily life through the power of energy data,” Infomethys will continue to provide solutions centred on energy and AI.
