Power companies look to technology to tackle business problems
APRIL 12, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Computerworld's Thomas Hoffman spoke yesterday with Warren Weiss, a general partner at Menlo Park, Calif.-based Foundation Capital, about the types of energy management technology companies and products that the venture capital firm is investing in.

They're at the periphery at the energy side. Early applications have been around industrial automation.

Power industry is likely to be an early adopter of this technology.
