The Northern European state is opening up its energy sector and tweaking its regulatory policy to ensure transparency for consumers, energy suppliers and utility firms in a competitive market.

"Our platform will help NRGi comply with the new model in the Danish energy market, facilitate digital initiatives and enhance user experience of end-customers," Wipro head for Nordic region Carl-Henrik Hallstrom said on the occasion.

As a strategic IT partner, the outsourcing major will design, build, host and deploy a customer information system (CIS) for the utility provider in a platform as a service (PaaS) model.
