Parsons Corporation has secured a five‑year demand‑response contract with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) to deliver its Demand Response Management System (DRMS) and related integration services. The agreement will increase LADWP’s demand‑response capacity by more than fourfold, directly supporting the city’s LA100 Plan to achieve 100 % clean electricity by 2035 or sooner.
The win places Parsons in a key technology partnership role with the United States’ largest municipal utility, adding a significant recurring revenue stream and reinforcing its growing footprint in the water and environment sector. Parsons reported a 2025 revenue of $6.4 billion, net income of $241.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $609 million, with a backlog of $8.7 billion. The company’s Critical Infrastructure segment grew 15 % year‑over‑year, while Federal Solutions declined 20 %, underscoring a strategic shift toward infrastructure‑focused growth.
Mark Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America, said, “Utility providers around the world are reshaping their capacity plans to meet the growing needs driven by the boom of artificial intelligence and data centers.” He added, “We take great pride in helping cities around the world deliver resilient energy systems for their populations and look forward to applying our innovative technology to enhance LADWP’s demand response and renewable electricity capacity.”
Investors reacted with mixed sentiment. While the contract strengthens Parsons’ position in grid modernization and clean‑energy services, analysts and market participants have focused on margin improvement and the company’s exposure to U.S. government contracts, which can introduce regulatory and funding uncertainties.
The contract supports LADWP’s clean‑energy trajectory by expanding demand‑response capabilities, a critical component for integrating distributed energy resources such as solar, battery storage, and electric vehicles. For Parsons, the five‑year term signals a long‑term revenue stream and positions the company to capture growth in AI‑driven energy management solutions across the U.S. utility market.
