Darcy Partners Launches Seat-Based Licensing to Deliver Targeted Innovation Intelligence Across Energy Organizations and Innovators

New, more flexible offering expands portfolio from 4 to 15 specialized products while making critical research accessible to individual teams; company also unveils refreshed brand and website.

HOUSTON, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As energy companies face increasing pressure to decrease costs and improve outcomes, Darcy Partners, a leader in energy innovation research and advisory services, announced a shift to seat-based licensing and expansion from four broad offerings to 15 specialized service lines to better serve the needs of energy customers. The company also introduced a new offering for technology innovators and unveiled a refreshed brand and website.

With approximately 34,000 energy technology companies worldwide and 1,700 new emergent companies each year (source: Tracxn), it can be difficult for energy leaders to know how to vet, validate and deploy new tech quickly and with less risk. Darcy Partners is the bridge that connects the two for market innovation on a new scale.

"For too long, access to innovation intelligence has been locked at the enterprise level while those in the field who need it to make strategic decisions had difficulty accessing it," said Tony Jaros, Chief Executive Officer of Darcy Partners. "Our seat-based model changes that dynamic entirely by making memberships more targeted and affordable. Now, a drilling engineer investigating automation solutions or a grid operator evaluating storage technologies can get the insights they need, when they need them, accelerating energy transition by empowering every decision-maker with actionable intelligence."

Energy members will have two options: Full access, which includes everything Darcy offers: in-person events, Innovation Concierge (on-demand, custom research), virtual showcases and access to the Darcy Connect platform to discover research and technology frameworks. Research-Only is an even more affordable option which offers Darcy Connect access and participation in virtual showcases.

The new product structure offers eight specialized service lines for oil & gas professionals, including subsurface, drilling, completions, production, facilities, emissions prevention, safety and emerging revenue streams, and seven for power & utility professionals, including strategic opportunities, low carbon generation, grid storage, electric transmission & distribution, gas transmission & distribution, grid edge, and customer decarbonization.

Darcy also announced an offering specifically for energy technology vendors, or innovators, creating a complete ecosystem connecting energy tech buyers with emerging technology solutions. The Innovator offering offers vendors pre- and post- market support with three membership tiers. The basic, free storefront gives vetted innovators the ability to set up a "storefront" on the Darcy Connect platform for greater visibility to our energy members.

For paid members, there are two investment levels with increasing benefits like access to research modules, market intelligence reports, research inquiry calls and case studies to support go-to-market messaging and positioning, campaign planning and exposure to energy leaders via events and sponsorships for selected vendors.

Also announced today, is a refreshed corporate brand identity and website launch to reflect Darcy's evolution over the past 10 years.

"The refreshed brand and website are indicative of the sophistication and innovation Darcy brings to the market," notes Dawn DiLorenzo, Vice President of Marketing for Darcy Partners. "Darcy members will continue to log in to the research portal with uninterrupted access while visitors can now explore our capabilities through enhanced content and success stories."
