What Environmental Potentials does

Environmental Potentials is a US-based manufacturer of patented power quality equipment, founded in 1999 and operating from a factory in Salt Lake City, Utah with a corporate office in Keller, Texas. The company's core offering combines surge protection devices (SPDs) with proprietary waveform correction technology built around a tank circuit that absorbs and dissipates electrical noise as heat within the unit, supplemented by thermal Metal Oxide Varistor (TMOV) surge suppression and low-pass filtration. EP claims greater than 30dB noise reduction from 5kHz to 2MHz and sub-nanosecond surge response, targeting the 70-85% of surges generated internally by non-linear loads (LEDs, VFDs, PLCs) as well as externally sourced lightning and utility transients.

The product portfolio is organized into modular industrial SPDs (EP2800 series for 800-4000A panels), waveform correction filters (EP2000, EP2500, EP-DIN), residential protection (EP-HPF, EP2050EE, DigiPlug, DigiStrip), specialty power supplies (medical, rack-mount, home theatre), OEM-embeddable units, and high-frequency noise filters. Go-to-market is channel-based: enterprise sales flow exclusively through manufacturer representatives who receive field support and commissions, while residential SKUs are sold direct-to-consumer via the company's e-commerce shop at publicly disclosed prices of $499 and $999. Industrial and commercial pricing is quote-based. Certified electricians are required for residential installation across all 50 US states.

The company operates globally through wholly-owned subsidiary EP Solutions Co., Ltd in Japan and a Philippines office, and runs EP Lighting Inc. as a separate subsidiary established in 2018 for UVC disinfection products under the UV-KLEEN Series. Named customers include the US Air Force, US Army, US Navy, Walmart, British Petroleum, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, American Axle & Manufacturing, POSCO, Makati Medical Center, and Okada Manila Casino, with the company stating 200,000 units installed across 7 countries. EP holds UL 1449 4th Edition, CSA, NEMA, NEC, and UL 96A certifications, and reports having conducted over 100 power quality audit studies in the US and Asia.

Core offering

Environmental Potentials designs, manufactures, and sells power quality hardware built around its patented waveform correction technology. The product portfolio includes modular industrial surge protective devices (SPDs) for 800-4000A panels, waveform correction filters and SPDs for mid-size and DIN-rail applications, residential whole-home protection filters and premium power strips, medical and rack-mount power supplies, OEM-embeddable SPD modules for lighting and equipment manufacturers, and high-frequency noise filters for PLC/VFD circuits. The company also performs power quality audits and runs a UVC disinfection product line under EP Lighting, Inc.

Product overview

Environmental Potentials offers a portfolio of patented waveform correction and surge protection products organized into five main categories: Modular Surge Protection (EP2800 series for industrial 800-4000A panels), Waveform Correction Filters (EP2000, EP2500, EP-DIN for various panel sizes), Complete Home Protection (EP-HPF, EP2050EE, DigiPlug, DigiStrip for residential 150-250A panels), Power Supplies (EP-MPS medical, EP-RPS rack mount, EP-HPS home theatre), OEM Products (EP-OEM and EP-OEM-L for equipment integration), and High Frequency Noise Filters (EP2700, EP-LPF). The company's core technology combines thermal MOV-based surge suppression with patented waveform correction circuits and low-pass filtration to address both externally generated surges (lightning, utility switching) and internally generated noise from non-linear loads. EP also operates EP Lighting, Inc. as a division focused on UV-KLEEN Series UVC disinfection products.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Eaton: Eaton is a global power management leader with a broad surge protection device (SPD) portfolio serving industrial, commercial, and residential markets. It competes head-on with EP's modular SPD and power quality products but at vastly greater scale and with bundled electrical infrastructure offerings.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers surge protection, power conditioning, and harmonic filtering solutions across its Square D and APC brands. As a Green Grid collaborator alongside EP, Schneider is a direct comparable for industrial power quality and data center applications.
• ABB: ABB provides industrial power quality, surge protection, and electrical conditioning equipment globally. As a fellow Green Grid participant with EP, ABB competes in the same data center and industrial power quality markets with a much larger product portfolio and direct sales force.
• Siemens: Siemens manufactures surge protective devices and power conditioning equipment as part of its broader electrical products portfolio. Comparable to EP in the industrial SPD category but with significantly larger R&D resources and global channel presence.
• Hubbell: Hubbell's Wiring Solutions group produces surge protection devices, receptacles, and wiring products for commercial and industrial applications. It is a broader incumbent comparable to EP's commercial and industrial SPD lines with deeper contractor relationships.
• GE Industrial Solutions (ABB): GE Industrial Solutions (now part of ABB) historically manufactured surge protection and power quality equipment alongside Green Grid peer EP. Continues as a broad incumbent comparable in industrial and utility-grade SPD markets.

Direct peers

• SurgeX (AMETEK): SurgeX is a specialist in surge protection and power conditioning for AV, IT, and industrial markets — a closely comparable niche to EP's high-end residential, medical, and audiophile power supplies. Both companies target the same premium applications where clean power justifies higher ASPs.
• Mersen: Mersen (formerly Ferraz Shawmut) is a specialist in surge protection, fuses, and power electronics cooling. It competes with EP in industrial SPDs and is a more direct specialist comparable despite being larger and globally diversified.
• Leviton: Leviton manufactures surge protective receptacles, panels, and wiring devices for residential and commercial markets. Comparable to EP's residential HPF, DigiPlug, and DigiStrip products, with much stronger retail and electrical contractor distribution.
• Furman (Panamax / Core Brands): Furman and Panamax specialize in power conditioning, surge protection, and noise filtration for professional AV, home theater, and audiophile markets. Closely comparable to EP's EP-HPS home theatre power supply and high-end audio vertical.
