Energy5 is a turnkey provider of commercial electrification and decarbonization infrastructure. We design, build, and manage the full project lifecycle for our clients, including site design, engineering, rebate and grant management, permitting, installation, inspection, activation, and ongoing maintenance. By handling every step in-house or through our integrated teams, we reduce project complexity, accelerate timelines, and help customers capture the maximum available incentives so they can lower total project cost and retain one hundred percent of the long-term charging revenue.

In 2024 we tripled our revenue, and in 2025 we doubled. We operate with startup speed and national reach, supported by the field crews and construction strength of our sister company, Utilities One. This gives Energy5 true coast-to-coast capability, allowing us to deliver anything from a single charger at a small business to full-scale, multi-hundred-port deployments.
