What Encorp does
Encorp, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, develops and delivers integrated hardware and software systems for distributed energy resource (DER) control, with a primary focus on microgrid applications. The company's flagship Egility Microgrid Control Platform is a modular and configurable system that combines standardized hardware with customizable software to integrate and optimize multiple energy assets — including generators, solar PV, wind turbines, fuel cells, and battery storage — in real time. Supporting products include the Gold Box distributed energy intelligence controller (with embedded PLC, synchronizer, protective relays, and power metering), Grid Connection & Paralleling Switchgear, the Automatic Paralleling Switch, and the recently launched Encorp Design visual dashboards. The company holds IEEE 1547, UL-508, UL-891, and LONMARK certifications and has patent-pending technology for animated microgrid visualizations.
Encorp operates across four revenue streams: hardware product sales, software licensing and platform fees, turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services, and ongoing operations and maintenance with managed remote monitoring. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based under multi-year contracts. The company serves mission-critical infrastructure (hospitals, data centers, military bases, correctional facilities), utilities and energy providers, commercial and industrial customers, rural and remote communities, and island/international markets. Notable customers include Tesla, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, E.ON, U.S. Navy, Chevron, Northrop Grumman, Siemens, Honeywell, Oracle, Eaton, Bahamas Power & Light, and Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association. With offices in Colorado, New York, Washington DC, California, Hawaii, and Düsseldorf, Encorp has deployed over 500 systems controlling more than 900 MW across 10 countries.
The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large projects with strategic channel partnerships (E.ON, Ameresco UK, Loccioni, Oskar-El), independent manufacturers' representatives, and the curated Microgrids for the Masses program that targets mid-market customers through local developers and partners. Encorp has secured flagship contracts including a $45.3M sole source EPC award for Alameda County and selection as sole microgrid control platform for Bahamas Power & Light's 29-station fleet. The company positions itself as one of the last remaining independent microgrid controls vendors, with 30 years of continuous operation through multiple industry consolidation cycles and a team holding over 200 years of combined microgrid experience.
