RESA Power Expands Its Operations in Quebec

On January 27, 2026, RESA Power, LLC, a recognized leader in electrical testing and transformer services, announced its strategic acquisition of Société Générale d'Électrotechnique (SGE), a notable provider of electrical energy solutions based in Quebec City, Quebec. This move marks a significant expansion for RESA Power into the Canadian market, particularly in a province that boasts North America's largest energy grid.

Strategic Significance of the Acquisition

The acquisition of SGE, known for its vertically integrated approach to electrical infrastructure, allows RESA Power to not only enter the Quebec market but also enhance its technical expertise and service offerings. Through this acquisition, RESA Power aims to provide comprehensive electrical construction, engineering, and testing services, alongside in-house manufacturing of medium and high-voltage power transformers tailored specifically for utility and industrial clients throughout Quebec and beyond.

Kevin Noonan, President of RESA Power’s Canadian operations, expressed pride in this expansion, stating, "This significant acquisition marks RESA's continued growth throughout Canada. With a dedicated hub in Quebec, we can now deliver specialized services more effectively to our clients."

A Legacy of Customer Focus and Expertise

As the founder of SGE, Jean-Yves Côté has built a reputation for delivering high-quality technical expertise and service. This reputation aligns closely with RESA Power’s own commitment to customer satisfaction. Côté commented on the acquisition, noting that it positions SGE to develop further while maintaining its customer-first philosophy: "I feel confident that we have found the ideal partner in RESA, who has the resources to scale our business both locally and regionally."

This partnership is set to leverage RESA Power's skilled workforce, combined with SGE's established presence, making them a formidable player in the energy sector.

Future Growth and Industry Impact

The acquisition of SGE marks RESA Power's fifth strategic buy in 2025, reflecting a deliberate growth strategy aimed at establishing regional hubs that specialize in a wide array of electrical power services. These services will include power testing, engineering, and manufacturing of power distribution equipment. RESA Power's dedication to innovation and customer service positions it favorably to meet the evolving needs of the market, particularly in responding to the growing demand for reliable electrical infrastructure.

Ultimately, the marriage of RESA Power and SGE holds great potential for advancing electrical services in Quebec and beyond, reinforcing both companies' commitment to enhancing the reliability and efficiency of power systems. As the energy landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this will be crucial for meeting the challenges ahead within the industry.
