About Metergy Solutions Inc. (“Metergy”) 

Metergy has the energy, rapid growth and excitement of a startup, together with a rock-solid, recession-proof business that has a 45 year track record. We’re a technology company that drives huge carbon emission reductions. This is a once-in-a-career opportunity.

 

As one of North America’s most experienced submetering providers, Metergy has brought turnkey solutions to clients for over 45 years. Metergy supplies, installs and remotely reads meters to measure individual suite consumption of electricity, water, gas, and thermal energy in multi-residential and commercial buildings, and bills and collects for the cost of commodities and administrative charges for the services provided. The business model allows for long-term recurring revenue through an innovative Submetering as a Service (SaaS) model. Submetering is proven to reduce in-suite energy consumption by 40%, driving decarbonization efforts for Metergy’s clients. This performance has enabled Metergy to issue green bonds and obtain green financing.   

 

Positioned as the #1 submeter provider in the New York and Canadian markets, and one of the largest in North America, Metergy has more than 900,000 contracted meters, issues over 4M utility bills annually and has over 500 team members.

Brookfield is one of the world’s largest investors, owners and operators of infrastructure assets across the utilities, transport, energy, data and sustainable resources sectors. This sponsorship provides Metergy with access to large-scale capital, infrastructure investment expertise and global reach.
