HERNDON, VA--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2015) - Greensmith, a leading provider of grid-scale energy storage software and integration services, was named the number one company on the Washington Business Journal's 2015 list of the Fastest Growing Companies in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Greensmith secured the top spot on the list with an average growth rate of 195.93 percent between 2012 and 2014.

"Greensmith is recognized for best-in-class technology and megawatts delivered, but financial growth is key to lasting leadership in the energy storage market," said Greensmith CEO John Jung. "So we are honored to be named Fastest Growing Company by the Washington Business Journal after our recent Inc. 5000 award. And with an expanding pipeline that exceeds 500 megawatts and continued investment in our business, a growing number of customers are choosing Greensmith as their long term technology partner."

This recognition adds to an impressive list of accomplishments and accolades for Greensmith in 2015. In March, Greensmith announced that it had delivered more than one-third of all U.S. energy storage deployments in 2014. Later in the year, Greensmith was named:

• A New Energy Pioneer by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
• To Greentech Media's Grid Edge 20.
• To the Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest growing companies, securing a ranking of 107 on the overall list, and the top ranking among energy storage-focused companies.
• A Platts Global Energy Awards Finalist.

In addition, Greensmith announced a $12.3 million Series C financing round led by American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) in September.

The Washington Business Journal's list of Fastest Growing Companies recognizes companies with at least three years of consecutive revenue growth. Participating companies must have more than $2 million in revenue in 2012 and more than $10 million in revenue in 2014 to qualify.
