"We are incredibly proud of what we achieved in 2025," said Andrea Mancino, CEO of Bright Power. "This year, we helped clients unlock meaningful energy savings—guiding them through new regulations, reducing carbon emissions, and making buildings healthier and more comfortable places to live. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our team and strong alliances with our clients and partners."

Looking Ahead to 2026:

Bright Power has been a leading utility analytics company for 20 years and understands that projecting forward is more important than ever. By leveraging AI, Bright Power will launch an innovative software platform that gives owners and operators the ability to create energy capital plans, forecast carbon emissions, prioritize investments, and make data-driven decisions with real impact.

Bright Power will also expand existing building decarbonization services in 2026, providing MEP design for retrofits that ensures building systems work together to deliver comfort, efficiency, and compliance—without unnecessary cost or risk.

Building Performance Standards are poised to affect a growing share of U.S. buildings next year, and Bright Power is expanding its services to meet the rising demand and help owners navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. As cities and states adopt new emissions, energy, and reporting mandates, Bright Power will support owners in implementing consistent, portfolio-wide performance standards that reduce risk and strengthen long-term investment planning.

Bright Power will continue to build on its momentum and share additional updates throughout 2026. More information about Bright Power can be found here.
