Genergy, a provider of electrical distribution infrastructure management services, announced it has acquired Utility Research Associates (URA), a provider of utility billing, utility data management, and sub-metering services for commercial real estate owners.

The acquisition expands Genergy’s utility data services portfolio, while providing URA’s clients with access to a broader portfolio of engineering, infrastructure management, compliance, energy procurement, and technology offerings.

Genergy’s services include electrical distribution engineering, power grid Identification (PGI) studies, infrastructure testing and maintenance, sub-metering system design and turnkey deployment, utility billing and data services. The company also offers local law compliance, demand response, energy procurement, and advanced infrastructure analytics for commercial, institutional, and residential property owners.

URA’s clients will gain access to UM2.0, Genergy’s proprietary utility and infrastructure intelligence platform, which was designed to integrate utility data, electrical infrastructure intelligence, engineering, advanced analytics, and AI. The goal of the merger is to provide building owners with visibility into the performance, compliance, operational efficiency, and financial optimization of their electrical distribution infrastructure.

“This acquisition is about creating greater value for URA’s clients,” said Dario Gristina, Founder and CEO of Genergy. “Utility Research Associates is known for its dependable utility billing services and exceptional customer support. The hope is that by merging URA’s client relationships with Genergy’s engineering experience, expanded infrastructure services, and UM2.0 technology platform, “we are creating one of the industry’s most comprehensive electrical distribution infrastructure management organizations.”

Gristina went on to say that Genergy is committed to helping clients “operate safer, more efficient, more intelligent, and ultimately, more valuable buildings.”

Dick Simon, president and owner of URA, added that “Genergy shares our commitment to customer service, while bringing engineering capabilities, technology investments, and operational resources that will enhance the value delivered to every client. I am confident our customers will benefit from expanded services, continued innovation, and a long-term commitment to excellence.”

The acquisition of URA represents another major milestone in Genergy’s vision to build a comprehensive utilities Infrastructure management organization. For decades, commercial property owners have relied on multiple firms to provide electrical engineering, utility billing, sub-metering, testing, maintenance, compliance, energy procurement, and infrastructure analytics. Genergy aims to redefine this model by integrating these separate disciplines into a unified operating platform.

As commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties become increasingly intelligent and connected, their infrastructure management requires a fully integrated platform that combines engineering, technology, and utility intelligence, Genergy said.
