Volvo Penta acquire stake in UIG...

Volvo Penta has acquired a stake in US-based utility systems and decentralized energy solution specialist Utility Innovation Group (UIG). Utility Innovation Group (UIG) is a leader in designing, building, protecting, and operating the global carbon-free grid of the future. UIG, founded by the core leadership team which helped shape the US microgrid market, specializes in utility protection and controls engineering, substation and distribution development, microgrid development, and grid resiliency.

Through focus on decarbonization and the ever-increasing need for resiliency, this investment by Volvo Penta accelerates Group entry into the battery energy storage and utility sector.
