Eaton, a global leader in intelligent power management, has signed an agreement to acquire Resilient Power Systems Inc., a North American innovator in solid-state transformer technology. This strategic move enhances Eaton’s portfolio with cutting-edge solutions for electric vehicle (EV) charging, data centers, and energy storage, aligning with the growing demand for efficient and sustainable power management.
Eaton, listed on the NYSE as ETN with a current stock price of $364.50 as shown in the finance card above, has entered into an agreement to acquire Resilient Power Systems Inc., an Austin-based company specializing in solid-state transformer-based technology. This acquisition bolsters Eaton’s capabilities in high-power, direct current (DC) applications, particularly in the EV market. “Resilient’s medium voltage solid-state transformers are a next-generation solution in high-power, direct current (DC) applications in the electric vehicle (EV) market – and there’s huge opportunity for future applications in data centers, port electrification and battery energy storage,” said Mike Yelton, president, Americas Region, Electrical Sector. The deal, expected to close in Q3 2025, positions Eaton to meet rising energy demands in fast-growing markets.
Resilient Power Systems’ technology enables ultra-compact EV charging depots that connect directly to the existing distribution grid, allowing for rapid and efficient deployment of EV fleet and public charging stations. This capability addresses the increasing need for scalable EV infrastructure. Additionally, the technology’s potential extends to data centers, where it can increase power density and revenue generation. By integrating Resilient’s solutions with Eaton’s manufacturing expertise and global field service network, the acquisition aims to optimize power distribution efficiency and reliability for data center operators seeking to minimize costs and enhance performance.
Eaton’s acquisition aligns with its commitment to sustainability and capitalizing on electrification and digitalization trends. Resilient’s innovative energy solutions, backed by venture capital firms like Energy Transition Ventures, are poised to transform the electric grid by supporting applications in port electrification and battery energy storage. Leveraging Eaton’s commercial scale, the acquisition will expand the market reach of these technologies, offering customers advanced tools to address power management challenges in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Eaton’s acquisition of Resilient Power Systems Inc. marks a significant step in advancing innovative power management solutions. By integrating Resilient’s solid-state transformer technology, Eaton strengthens its position to deliver efficient, sustainable, and high-performance energy solutions for EVs, data centers, and beyond, driving progress toward a low-carbon future.
