Louisville, KY. – January 30, 2013 – Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and sustainability services, announced today it has rebranded its wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Energy. Effective immediately, Summit Energy will now function under the name of Schneider Electric and the Summit Energy name will cease to exist.
