What Lucy Switchgear does

Lucy Electric (formerly Lucy Switchgear), a subsidiary of the privately held Lucy Group Ltd., is a UK-headquartered manufacturer of medium-voltage switchgear and distribution network automation systems serving global utilities, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), EV charging developers, and renewable energy projects. Founded in 1905 and headquartered in Windsor, United Kingdom, the company operates manufacturing facilities in seven countries — the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, South Africa, and Brazil — and sells into more than 50 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America.

The product portfolio centers on Ring Main Units (RMUs), including the SabreEcoTec and AegisEcoTec synthetic-air SF6-free lines launched in 2025 in advance of the EU F-gases ban, the Aegis 36 (up to 36kV for renewables), and the AirTec LX solid dielectric vacuum load break switch launched in 2026. Adjacent offerings include low-voltage products, overhead line equipment, package substations, distribution network automation systems, the Remote Edge Device Manager (REDM), and LEEVI end-to-end EV charging infrastructure solutions. The 2026 acquisition of Nuventura GmbH extends the portfolio into primary 36kV dry-air Gas Insulated Switchgear.

Lucy Electric sells through direct enterprise field sales on a quote-based, project-by-project basis to utilities and large infrastructure developers, with multi-year contract cadences. Revenue is derived primarily from hardware sales of switchgear and automation systems, supplemented by engineering, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and consulting services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are configured to specific utility requirements. The company is privately held under Lucy Group Ltd. and does not publish revenue figures.
