EPCOR, an an Alberta, Canada-based company with a customer base of more than 600,000, has launched Canada's first comprehensive online suite of software applications that help residential and business customers understand how they are using energy and/or water, and what they can do to use it more efficiently.

EPCOR, which selected Atlanta, Georgia-based Enercom, Inc. to develop and install its online energy analysis and management applications, offers the programs via its Web site at http://www.epcor.ca.

"This integrated online approach is unique in Canada, because we are offering information on energy and water to both residential and business customers," said Cairine MacDonald, president of EPCOR Energy Services.

MacDonald added that customers can visit EPCOR's Website to conduct a do-it-yourself energy or water audit that provides personalized recommendations for energy and water efficiency, learn the latest about the company's programs and services, access a comprehensive Energy Library and more.

"Our newest release of Water Depot® has generated a great deal of interest from private and municipal utilities," said Conlan. "This application is as user-friendly as our Energy Depot® suite of Internet programs and is designed to help educate customers on their water use and what they can do to conserve this precious resource."
