Generac acquires microgrid controller company Ageto
Generac Power Systems announced the acquisition of Ageto, a leading provider of microgrid controllers, on August 1, 2024. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ageto controllers integrate, optimize and manage distributed conventional resources, renewable energy resources and electric vehicle (EV) chargers in the commercial & industrial (C&I) market. Generac has worked with Ageto since 2021, incorporating their microgrid controllers into Generac’s Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) solutions and generator sets.
“This acquisition enhances our ability to offer a complete energy technology ecosystem to domestic commercial & industrial customers with multi-asset sites,” said Erik Wilde, EVP and president, Domestic C&I at Generac. “By integrating Ageto’s industry-leading microgrid controller and advanced software into our systems, we’re simplifying asset integration, control and optimization for our customers and creating a competitive advantage for Generac.”
Ageto’s microgrid controller helps enable users to coordinate, optimize, and monitor all components of their microgrid from one simple interface. Combining Ageto’s software solution with Generac’s BESS and microgrid multi-asset systems provides site-level system integration and control versus hardware only.
