EP&T is also pleased to announce it is currently in discussion with a key Coda development customer, FirstGroup plc, where Coda’s proprietary technology has been deployed across more than 200 of their sites in the UK. The Coda technology is already installed in the sites to provide monitoring and control of energy usage in some of FirstGroup’s train stations and bus depots. Service at these sites is expected to resume, pending the successful conclusion of these discussions.
With the UK rail network consisting of over 2,000[1] mainline stations, EP&T sees significant potential to expand the use of this technology, initially across the broader UK market.
CEO John Balassis said “We are pleased to be able to close the transaction, and positively re-engage with a core Coda development partner such as First Group PLC, who expensed considerable effort to work with Coda on the technology. We look forward to being able to conclude these discussions as soon as possible and continue to work with FirstGroup in assisting it in delivering on its sustainability goals.”
