Eaton is set to acquire Texas-based Resilient Power Systems, expanding its capabilities in grid modernization and energy transition technologies.
In a move signaling deeper investment in the future of distributed energy resources and power resilience, Eaton has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Resilient Power Systems, a U.S.-based company specializing in solid-state transformer technology.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Resilient Power is known for developing grid-transforming solutions that enable advanced, efficient, and resilient power distribution across utility and industrial infrastructures.
Enhancing Electrification and Modern Grid Capabilities
Eaton’s decision to acquire Resilient Power aligns with its long-term strategy to accelerate energy transition and support electrification across key industries. Resilient Power’s portfolio includes cutting-edge solid-state transformers (SSTs) that provide critical functions like voltage regulation, bidirectional power flow, and protection from faults.
These capabilities are especially valuable as electric grids evolve to integrate distributed energy resources such as solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
By incorporating Resilient Power’s technology into its existing suite of energy management and power conversion products, Eaton aims to offer customers greater flexibility, stability, and reliability in managing modern electrical networks.
A Step Toward a Smarter, Cleaner Grid
This acquisition underscores Eaton’s commitment to supporting the global push toward clean energy.
With rising demand for sustainable power solutions, the integration of advanced SST technology is expected to help utility companies and large commercial operations handle the complex dynamics of renewable energy generation and usage.
Resilient Power System’s innovations will enable Eaton to serve growing markets such as electric vehicle infrastructure, energy storage systems, renewable power plants, and critical grid-edge applications.
Rapidly Changing Energy Landscape
As nations around the world work to modernize their energy infrastructure, the ability to intelligently and efficiently distribute electricity becomes paramount.
The acquisition positions Eaton to be at the forefront of this transformation, helping utilities and enterprises adapt to the rapidly changing energy landscape.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Once finalized, Resilient Power will become part of Eaton’s Electrical Sector business.
