ABB announced the acquisition of Premium Power, a Dublin‑based electrical engineering consultancy, on February 13, 2026. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 and will broaden ABB’s Electrification Service advisory offering, known as ABB Navigate, with new expertise in power system studies, grid connection, compliance modelling, power quality assessments, and electrical safety and risk management.
Premium Power employs more than 40 electrical engineers and specialists and serves high‑availability sectors such as data centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other mission‑critical industries. The firm’s deep knowledge of power system design, grid integration, and regulatory compliance positions it to support customers in designing, operating, and future‑proofing complex electrical infrastructure across Europe.
The acquisition strengthens ABB’s ability to advise on grid‑connection challenges and regulatory compliance—key drivers of demand in electrification projects. By integrating Premium Power’s advisory capabilities, ABB can offer customers deeper, system‑level support that aligns with the growing need for reliable, high‑performance power systems in critical infrastructure markets. The move also reinforces ABB’s focus on electrification and automation trends, reinforcing its position in high‑growth segments such as data centers and utilities.
Management highlighted the strategic fit: Stuart Thompson, President of ABB’s Electrification Service division, said, “The acquisition of Premium Power strengthens our ability to advise customers on complex power systems, grid connection and compliance challenges. This expertise is increasingly essential for critical industries such as data centers and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where reliability is paramount.” Paula O'Neill, Managing Director of Premium Power, added, “Joining ABB allows us to take that expertise further — scaling system‑level impact across Europe while preserving the engineering depth and customer focus that define our business.”
