HOUSTON, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RESA Power, LLC ("RESA Power" or the "Company"), a market leader in power systems electrical testing, transformer services, and life extension solutions for power distribution equipment, has acquired Société Générale d'Électrotechnique ("SGE").

Based in Quebec City, Quebec, SGE is the leading provider of vertically integrated electrical energy solutions, with specialty capabilities that focus on the mission-critical development and maintenance of electrical utilities infrastructure.

The strategic acquisition provides RESA Power with a presence in Quebec, home to North America's largest energy grid, adds technical expertise and complementary capabilities to the Company's existing service offerings, and brings in-house engineering and Canadian-manufactured medium and high-voltage power transformers.

In close partnership with the team at SGE, we will now be able to offer electrical construction, engineering, and testing services as well as in-house manufacturing of medium and high-voltage power transformers to utility and industrial customers in Quebec and across Canada. As the founder of SGE, Jean-Yves Côté, has built an extremely customer-focused business that has earned a reputation for the highest levels of technical expertise, service quality, and customer service, which aligns well with our business culture at RESA Power."

Jean-Yves Côté added, "I'm extremely proud of what we have achieved at SGE over the last three decades, but this is just the beginning. I feel confident that we have found the ideal partner in RESA, who has the resources to help develop and scale our business both locally and regionally. Working together, we will be able to expand our operations and offer more Canadian-manufactured large power transformers to utility customers, in addition to leveraging RESA's skilled roster of technicians and financial resources to fuel future growth. I'm excited to be part of a larger team."

This acquisition marks RESA Power's fifth in 2025 and is part of a purposeful growth strategy to expand across Canada and establish regional hubs that specialize in providing a comprehensive portfolio of electrical power testing services, engineering, and in-house manufacturing of power distribution equipment to a diverse range of clients.
