Hubbell announced the launch of Aclara360 on January 27, 2026, a modular software platform that unlocks the full potential of grid‑edge device data for utilities.
The platform builds on the Aclara brand, which Hubbell acquired in 2017 for approximately $1.1 billion, and is engineered to integrate seamlessly with existing SCADA, DMS, and AMI systems. It delivers real‑time analytics that help utilities detect voltage and phase imbalances, improve topology accuracy, and accelerate fault localization.
"Aclara360 represents a major step forward in how utilities can harness data to drive meaningful operational improvements," said Erik Christian, Hubbell’s Division President for Grid Automation. "By delivering real‑time intelligence through a modular, scalable platform, we’re empowering our customers to strengthen grid performance today while accelerating their journey toward a more automated, resilient future."
"Aclara360 gives them a practical, high‑impact solution that maximizes…" added David Rieken, Vice President of Engineering Research, underscoring the platform’s ability to provide advanced analytics without requiring major capital investment.
The launch is positioned to capture the growing demand for digital grid‑modernization tools, part of a $1.2 trillion opportunity through 2030, and is intended to strengthen Hubbell’s competitive moat in the utility solutions market by focusing on high‑margin, non‑commoditized segments.
Hubbell’s 2024 revenue of $5.6 billion, mid‑single‑digit sales growth, 9% adjusted operating profit growth, and double‑digit free cash flow growth demonstrate the company’s capacity to invest in innovations like Aclara360 while maintaining solid financial performance.
The product launch signals Hubbell’s continued commitment to expanding its Aclara portfolio and accelerating grid modernization, positioning the company to serve utilities that need advanced analytics without major capital investment.
