What Wild Energy does

Wild Energy is a Sarasota, Florida-based wireless metering company that builds Advanced Metering Infrastructure for the outdoor hospitality industry. Its core product is a smart electric meter built around the I-210 platform, with embedded radios, software, and analytics, paired with proprietary Data Collectors that automatically relay readings to a Microsoft Azure-powered cloud database. The company has extended into water metering through a strategic partnership with Metron (Spectrum Wave, Spectrum Jet, and Commercial meters), and offers a Pedestal Retrofit Kit that allows existing pedestals from Eaton, Hubbell, Motion Power, Milbank, and others to be upgraded to smart-metered pedestals without full replacement. A guest-facing self-service portal at CheckTheMeter.com and an Owner Portal for operators provide real-time visibility into electricity and water usage, while Virtual Metering — an industry-first capability — aggregates multiple physical meters into a single consolidated bill for one guest or account. The platform holds ANSI C12 revenue-grade certification, Texas Administrative Code §3.295 compliance, and California Approved Meter List certification, positioning it as billing-grade rather than monitoring-only.

Wild Energy serves RV parks and campgrounds (its primary vertical), marinas, manufactured housing communities, municipal utilities, and commercial real estate operators across the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas. The business model combines upfront hardware sales (electric meters, water meters, retrofit kits, Data Collectors) with recurring subscription revenue from continuous data relay, cloud storage, Owner Portal access, and customer support. Go-to-market is primarily direct sales, supplemented by 14+ native integrations with property management systems including CampLife, Campspot, Firefly, K2 KampSight (KOA), ResNexus, RMS, Newbook, Sharper, Park, Resort Forward, Rent Manager, Staylist, MySites, and Campground Commander, which serve as both distribution channels and workflow automation for automated meter reading, short-stay billing, and check-in/check-out workflows.

The company is led by Founder and CEO Mike Sorensen and was founded in 2019. As of 2025 it reported nearly 100 active implementations and cumulative customer cost recovery exceeding $18 million; it was named FRVCA Supplier of the Year in 2024. Funding history is limited to SEC exempt offerings totaling approximately $952,500 across 2019 and 2021, with no institutional venture capital or private equity disclosed in the source material.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Metron: Water management technology company and Wild Energy's strategic water metering partner. Comparable in cellular AMI water meters for similar property types; potential dual role as partner (today) and competitive threat if Metron expands into electric metering.
• Hometown Metering: Submetering services provider focused on multifamily and manufactured housing communities with similar customer profile (small operators needing submetering for tenant billing). Closest direct comparable in business model and vertical scope, though not focused on RV parks.
• Submeter Solutions, Inc. Submetering company providing electric and water submetering for multifamily, commercial, and manufactured housing properties. Directly comparable business model — hardware plus ongoing monitoring services with revenue-grade billing focus.

Broad incumbents

• Sensus (Xylem): Sensus, now part of Xylem, provides AMI smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure for electric, gas, and water utilities. Comparable metering technology stack but utility-focused rather than targeted at small commercial/outdoor hospitality operators.
• Badger Meter: Leading manufacturer of flow measurement and water metering products for utilities and commercial customers. Comparable on the water metering side (Metron's space) and a likely competitor as Wild Energy expands into integrated water submetering.
• Itron: Global leader in AMI/smart metering hardware and software for electric, gas, and water utilities. Broad incumbent with vastly greater scale, but its utility-focused products are not purpose-built for outdoor hospitality submetering, leaving room for Wild Energy in the RV park/marina vertical.
• Aclara (Hubbell): Smart infrastructure and AMI provider owned by Hubbell — one of Wild Energy's named pedestal partners. Provides revenue-grade electric and water metering to utilities, making it an upstream/complementary incumbent rather than a direct RV-park competitor today.
• Landis+Gyr: Global smart meter and grid management provider serving utilities with AMI hardware and analytics. Similar in metering technology to Wild Energy's I-210-based AMI but targeted at large utilities rather than individual RV park and marina operators.

Emerging players

• Span (Span.IO): Smart electrical panel company bringing real-time energy monitoring and control to homes. Adjacent technology category (smart energy management with cellular connectivity) targeting residential and small commercial — a potential entrant as energy management and EV readiness converge with submetering.
• Winn Solutions: Submetering provider serving manufactured housing communities with utility billing and management software. Adjacent vertical (manufactured housing is one of Wild Energy's segments) with overlapping submetering and billing workflow capabilities.
