AUSTIN, Texas, March 13, 2025 ~ Enverus, the leading energy-dedicated SaaS company, has made a major acquisition that will help address the growing challenges in the energy industry. The company announced today that it has acquired Pearl Street Technologies, a top provider of automation solutions for interconnection studies.

The backlog of projects waiting in nationwide interconnection queues has become a pressing issue for the energy industry.

With this acquisition, Enverus aims to streamline interconnection and other grid planning studies to help alleviate the increasing queue volumes. Pearl Street Technologies brings to Enverus a portfolio of solutions that expedite interconnection processes and help investors and power developers future-proof their businesses.
