The firm represented HOMER Energy LLC in the sale of the company to a subsidiary of UL LLC that closed on December 16, 2019. HOMER Energy provides the leading software platform for microgrid and distributed generation power system design and optimization, and UL LLC acquired HOMER Energy as part of its efforts to provide more services to the renewable energy chain and in microgrids in particular. Peter Lilienthal, the CEO of HOMER Energy, commented, “This transaction was a real challenge for our small company. Never having been through this before, I couldn’t have done it without Jim Carpenter and the HBC team. I’m sure it would have been harder, more stressful, and probably taken longer without their experience and expertise. It’s been a real pleasure to work with Jim and HBC.”
