Key Takeaways
EnergyHub completed the acquisition of Bridge to Renewables to boost its EV utility program.
The buyout enhances EV and DER integration into EnergyHub's Virtual Power Plant network.
EnergyHub's strategy centers on acquisitions like BTR and Kapacity.io to expand market reach.
Alarm.com Holdings, Inc.’s (ALRM - Free Report) business unit, EnergyHub, recently completed the acquisition of Bridge to Renewables (“BTR”). The acquisition will provide a boost to EnergyHub’s utility electric vehicle (EV) program.
Based in Washington, D.C., BTR specializes in providing telematics-based solutions and software infrastructure to EV Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), allowing them to connect with electricity markets. The company facilitates several EV OEMs and fleet operators to engage in low-carbon and renewable fuel programs.
Acquisition Rationale
The latest buyout is in sync with EnergyHub’s policy of acquiring businesses to expand its market share and customer base. The acquisition will enhance EnergyHub’s capability to incorporate EVs and other distributed energy resources (DER) into its Virtual Power Plant (VPP) network.

Acquisitions are an essential aspect of EnergyHub’s growth strategy. In December 2024, EnergyHub acquired Kapacity.io, a provider of heat pump optimization solutions. The Kapacity.io buyout will support EnergyHub’s target to expand VPPs outside North America.
