• New announcements feature a commercial electric vehicle charger and a first-of-its-kind home energy management solution
• Executives from Schneider Electric to speak on six key panels at RE+, addressing DERs, renewables, VPPs, smart panels, and more

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today released its full lineup at RE+, the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry for the past 20 years.

The new energy landscape is marked by the transition from a purely uni-directional energy flow to a bi-directional energy flow, with early adopting consumers becoming prosumers: producing, consuming, and managing their own energy from renewable sources, like solar.

The speed of the energy transition must accelerate with faster technology deployment to electrify homes, buildings, and transport. This faster pace of change requires building a simpler experience for prosumers. Schneider Electric makes this happen as a reliable and trusted global leader with the most comprehensive portfolio of solutions for energy management from grid to plug.

Schneider Electric shared two industry-shaping announcements at the show:

• A commercial electric vehicle (EV) charger, Schneider Charge Pro, that provides reliable, flexible, and sustainable smart charging, delivering a seamless experience for installers, operators, and drivers. Schneider Charge Pro is an integral addition to Schneider's portfolio of EV infrastructure solutions, now offering everything needed to develop and deploy a customized EV charging infrastructure program.
• The launch of Schneider Home, a new solution designed to help homeowners simplify their energy management, easily extend their home's backup power, and save money on their utility bills. Schneider Home combines solar, battery, EV charging, and utility power into one easy-to-use system, all managed through a single app.
