Gregory Electric Company

What Gregory Electric Company does

Gregory Electric Company is a privately held, family-founded electrical specialty trade contractor headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, established in 1949. It designs, installs, and services electrical and energy infrastructure across commercial, industrial, utility, mission-critical, service, and government end markets, holding contractor and Professional Engineer licenses in 14 Southeastern states. Operations are organized around five service lines — Electrical, High Voltage Power (up to 66 kV), Solar PV, Telecommunications, and Water Features — plus a separate Gregory Technologies subsidiary. The firm directly employs a long-tenured craft workforce (357 employees with 35+ years of service reported), manages a fleet of 300+ heavy equipment units, and executes approximately 750,000+ work hours annually while maintaining a 0.82 EMR (2016) and 0.62 TRIR (2020). Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct engagement with project owners and general contractors on multi-year, project-based contracts, complemented by 24/7/365 emergency restoration services and storm-response deployment (50+ major storms in 18 states since 1992).

Revenue is generated primarily through fixed-price and unit-priced electrical construction and EPC contracts (e.g., utility-scale solar such as the Rincon Solar I 18.36 MWac project for Georgia Power and a 4 MW project in Dublin, GA as primary EPC), telecommunications infrastructure build-outs (fiber, duct bank, wireless) for institutional customers, and architectural water-feature installations across municipal, university, resort, healthcare, government, retail, and religious venues. Select customers include SCE&G, Dominion Energy, Georgia Power, UNUM, University of South Carolina, Clemson University IT, Army Aviation Center, Fort Jackson, Trane, and Span-America Medical Systems. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements typically follow multi-year contract structures for enterprise infrastructure and pay-as-you-go billing for emergency restoration. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the supplied data.

Direct peers

• Rosendin Electric: Employee-owned electrical contractor with strong commercial, data center, solar, and T&D practices. Comparable multi-line electrical EPC profile and similar safety/employee-ownership culture.
• M.C. Dean: Specialty electrical and systems integrator focused on complex, mission-critical infrastructure including data centers, healthcare, and government. Highly comparable on commercial/mission-critical electrical contracting and operates with similar safety-first culture.
• Pike Electric: Utility-focused contractor providing overhead and underground T&D construction, substation, and storm restoration services across the Southeast and beyond. Highly comparable core electrical distribution and storm response business.
• IES Holdings: Publicly traded provider of electrical and communications infrastructure services including commercial/industrial electrical, data center, and utility-scale solar. Comparable mix of design-build electrical work and solar EPC.
• Faith Technologies: National electrical and specialty systems contractor serving commercial, industrial, and mission-critical customers. Comparable on design-build commercial electrical and clean energy solutions, though with broader geographic reach.

Broad incumbents

• EMCOR Group: National provider of electrical and mechanical construction, energy infrastructure, and facilities services. Overlaps with Gregory Electric on commercial/industrial electrical, mission-critical (data center) work, and large-scale EPC delivery.
• Quanta Services: Large publicly traded infrastructure contractor providing electric power, oil & gas, and telecom construction services across North America. Overlaps with Gregory Electric on T&D, substation, and storm restoration work, but operates nationally and at much larger scale with a broader service portfolio.
• MYR Group: Publicly traded holding company of specialty electrical construction subsidiaries (including The L.E. Myers Co. and Sturgeon Electric). Directly comparable on T&D and commercial/industrial electrical contracting, but operates across broader geographies with deeper utility customer penetration.
• MasTec: National infrastructure construction firm with major operations in electric T&D, communications, oil & gas, and clean energy. Direct overlap on utility power distribution, storm response, solar EPC, and telecom construction across the Southeast.

Others

• Holder Construction: National design-build general contractor for large commercial, sports, and mission-critical projects. Partner relationship (Gregory subbed to Holder on Clemson's Douthit Hills) places them as a collaborating GC rather than direct competitor.
