WASHINGTON, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced that it is doubling down on its commitment to support the U.S. military and federal government by establishing Schneider Electric Federal.

Newly announced U.S. public sector business: Schneider Electric Federal

As a longtime partner to the U.S. government, Schneider Electric provides secure, uninterrupted, and reliable power to critical systems, digitalizing and modernizing the government to be more efficient and secure via our hardware and AI-driven software solutions. This announcement marks the incorporation of Schneider Electric Federal, building on the previous business known as Schneider Electric Critical Buildings Systems Inc. It also reflects the growing collaboration between Schneider Electric and the U.S. government and military to design and build more efficient and hardened military infrastructure, install microgrid technologies, upgrade buildings, modernize electrical infrastructure, and more.

"Energy security is national security, and as the largest consumer of energy, the federal government must have access to secure, efficient, and reliable power," said Jay Owen, President of Schneider Electric Federal. "From hardening infrastructure against cyber threats to optimizing resource usage within government facilities, Schneider Electric Federal delivers tangible results: enhanced security, streamlined processes, and significant cost savings."

Jay Owen has helmed the team since 2022 and will continue to lead the newly named company as President, alongside a board of directors that features prominent national security experts like General Al Edmonds and Sherri Goodman, and business leaders, including Aamir Paul, President of North America Operations for Schneider Electric.

"For over 135 years, Schneider Electric has proudly helped power the United States. Given our continued commitment to U.S. manufacturing and the launch of Schneider Electric Federal, we are better positioned than ever to enable a new era of energy efficiency in this country," said Aamir.

A growing number of federal facilities already rely on Schneider Electric's hardware, software, and performance contracting solutions to deliver reliable and secure power to mission-critical systems while reducing and optimizing energy consumption. Over the past 30 years, the company has successfully implemented more than 1,000 public sector projects, including:

Yokota Air Base (Japan): SE Federal helped the US Air Force reduce energy and water costs by 29.3%, generating $12.3M in annual savings and enabling the base to meet the 14-day islanding requirement.
Marine Corps Logistics Base (Albany, GA): SE Federal helped the base achieve 100% of its power from renewable energy, projecting $214M in savings over 23 years.
Marine Corps Air Station (Miramar, CA): SE Federal helped install a 1.5 MW battery energy storage system to bolster the microgrid that powers the home of 15,000 marines, sailors and their families.

A U.S. incorporated company, Schneider Electric Federal is approved to work with the U.S. Government on classified and unclassified programs through a Special Security Agreement (SSA). In concert with the US Department of Defense's Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), Schneider Electric Federal has agreed to a comprehensive series of controls and requirements set forth by the SSA and subject to oversight by a Government Security Committee to ensure independent management.
