The closing marks the realization of BCP's investment in United Utility, a platform built to serve the growing needs of electric utilities across the United States through engineering, design, maintenance, and construction services supporting transmission, distribution, and substation infrastructure.

"This closing reflects the strength of our investment approach, the depth of our market insight, and the power of disciplined execution," said Mark Spender, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at BCP. "We identified early the need for a scaled, high-quality grid services platform and worked alongside management to build a market leader positioned to capitalize on and support the significant new capital investment being made to strengthen, expand, and improve resiliency of the U.S. power grid. We are incredibly proud of what the United Utility team accomplished and confident the company is well-positioned for continued growth."
