Mortenson has acquired Nor-Cal Controls, a controls systems provider specializing in energy management for solar, battery energy storage and microgrid applications. The acquisition will support Mortenson’s ability to work with increasingly complex energy and infrastructure projects by integrating these control systems.
Nor-Cal Controls uses an open-architecture control system that work directly with the electrical grid to store, dispatch and manage power, supporting project performance, operational reliability and long-term asset operation.
“Mortenson has grown over many decades by being deliberate about how we expand and by staying grounded in our values,” said Derek Cunz, CEO of Mortenson. “We chose to bring Nor-Cal Controls into the Mortenson organization because of the people, their expertise in power control systems engineering, and their relentless focus on the customer. This strengthens a capability that matters to our customers while preserving the culture and principles that define who we are.”
Nor-Cal Controls customers will continue working with the same teams, and Mortenson customers will have access to the expanded controls.
“Joining Mortenson is an exciting next chapter for Nor-Cal. We’ve built a company rooted in technical excellence, deep customer focus, and a strong team culture. Mortenson shares those same values, and we’re thrilled to combine our strengths to deliver even greater value to our customers and new opportunities for our people,” said Bob Lopez, co-founder of Nor-Cal Controls.
