It was announced yesterday that an Enel Group company, EnerNOC Inc, has opened its new European headquarters and global Network Operations Centre in Dublin’s “Silicon Docks”.
 
An Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Frances Fitzgerald was the company’s guest of honour at the ribbon-cutting event.
 
EnerNOC first established its Ireland operations in 2011 with the acquisition of a 5-person start up. It now currently employs 45 people in its Dublin office, with the new Dublin centre being capable of accommodating over 100 energy experts. 

The company was the first demand response provider to connect flexible electric capacity of Irish businesses to the system operator EirGrid at scale. The Global Network Operations Centre, which was relocated to Dublin from Boston earlier in 2017, currently manages more than 6,800 MW of dispatchable demand response capacity from 9 countries around the world.
 
Speaking at the opening of EnerNOC's new offices in Dublin yesterday, An Tánaiste and Minister for Business Enterprise and Innovation, Frances Fitzgerald said, "I am delighted to be here today to celebrate the opening of EnerNOC's new European Headquarters. Our Government have been driving the attraction of Foreign Direct Investment to Ireland. The expansion of foreign companies already based here is also central to that policy."

She added, "Energy use management is an increasingly complex business and I am delighted that EnerNOC are now well established here and able to secure the technical skills here for their services in this field. We warmly welcome the provision of quality jobs in specialised areas like this as we diversify the economy to higher value, knowledge-based activities."
