Sustainable growth Holy Cross Energy is actively expanding its clean energy and grid resilience initiatives, including collaboration on a microgrid with Pitkin County and RFTA, and launching Building Optimization pilots. This signals opportunities to upsell energy efficiency software, demand management tools, and microgrid integration services.

Digital modernization The tech stack includes modern cloud and data tools (Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Stripe, VMware, Piwik PRO), along with specialized utilities software (AutoCAD, Amazon SES). There is potential to offer advanced Meter-to-Cash modernization, analytics, customer communications, and secure data management solutions.

Performance partnerships Recent collaborations with PCI Energy Solutions for e-tagging and reporting enhancements indicate openness to third-party energy software and scheduling solutions. This creates a runway for targeted demonstrations of energy scheduling, compliance, and visibility platforms.

Community engagement Active participation in youth tours and local community initiatives shows emphasis on workforce development and member engagement. Sales opportunities exist for workforce training programs, pilot programs with schools or communities, and member-centric energy efficiency campaigns.

Regional expansion Expansion into Pueblo and integration with local authorities for grid reliability and resilience points to growth in service territory and peak-load management needs. This can translate into opportunities for grid optimization, load management, and distributed energy resources (DER) integration offerings.
