AWS Truepower is NY-based company providing renewable energy services through five business units covering project advisory, performance engineering, due diligence, information services and grid solutions. Its service portfolio complements UL\u2019s current renewable energy offering focused on testing, inspection, and certification as well as performance verification of solar, wind, batteries, and energy storage systems.<\/p>\n

The acquisition supports UL\u2019s global expansion strategy as many countries are pushing for energy independence, energy security and environmental sustainability. Hundreds of GW\u2019s of energy capacity installed globally is pushing the demand for energy assessments of new projects coming online and ongoing support. AWS Truepower\u2019s services are crucial in supporting this growing demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is strong alignment between the two brands. UL and AWS Truepower have a shared mission and complementary businesses,\u201d said Jeffrey Smidt, VP & General Manager for UL Energy & Power Technologies. \u201cAs the market for renewable energy increases and demands a full life cycle service offering for renewable energy projects, the combined portfolios enable us to capture additional business globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited by this opportunity to merge forces with UL and provide best-in-class services and products to the renewable energy industry,\u201d said Bruce Bailey, former CEO of AWS Truepower and new VP – Renewable Energy for UL. \u201cClients can rest assured that customer service and technical quality will remain our top priorities, and that our newly integrated capabilities will deliver even more value.\u201d<\/p>\n

AWS Truepower is\u00a0an international leader in renewable energy consulting and engineering services. The company\u00a0 provides the most accurate, reliable, and innovative renewable energy project development and operations solutions available today. Headquartered in New York, AWS Truepower has offices in North America, Europe,\u00a0Latin America and\u00a0Asia.\u00a0AWS Truepower SLU, a subsidiary of the company for Europe and Latin America -located at the PCB- is partly owned by the spin-off Meteosim<\/a>, founded in 2003 by a group of researchers from the Department of Astronomy and Meteorology of the University of Barcelona and the US company Meso Inc.<\/p>\n

AWS Truepower\u2019s employees will join UL and remain with the company. For the time being, AWS Truepower will continue operating under its current brand name. The transaction closed on September 26th, 2016.<\/p>\n
