e2Companies Wins Innovation Intelligence Award at Procore’s Groundbreak 2026
“Power infrastructure is among the most complex and high-stakes work in construction, and e2 is setting a strong example of how to manage it digitally,” said Sasha Reed, Senior Director, Industry Transformation at Procore. “Their approach to standardizing processes and preserving project information beyond handover reflects the kind of innovation the Innovation Intelligence Award is meant to recognize.”
Through its Virtual Utility® platform, e2 combines its patented on-site power system, the R3Di®, with the AI-powered monitoring software, Grove365®. This unique combination advances how mission-critical power infrastructure is engineered, deployed, monitored and maintained, with a particular focus on helping data centers deploy more AI capacity faster. The company also serves water treatment facilities, public agencies, transportation centers, manufacturers, and industrial operations.
Procore serves as a central platform for e2’s engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning workflows. e2 has built more than 450 commissioning checkpoints into standardized digital processes, creating traceable records that support consistent deployment and long-term operations. This framework helps preserve critical project information from construction through commissioning and ongoing asset management.
“Power infrastructure must deliver practical value for the people who build, own and operate it,” said James Richmond, CEO and Founder of e2. “Our focus is on giving customers greater control over their power, with the visibility to anticipate challenges and optimize power delivery for dynamic load profiles. This award validates our approach of carrying project data from the first commissioning checkpoint through years of operation, and it reflects the work of our team and partners like ZoKa Solutions.”
ZoKa Solutions supports e2 through strategic operational advisory, project delivery oversight, and the development of connected operational infrastructure. By aligning people, processes, technology, and information, ZoKa helps establish the governance, systems, and visibility needed to support complex infrastructure delivery. Its partnership with e2 focuses on strengthening execution while building scalable operational frameworks that support informed decision-making, accountability, and continuous improvement.
“e2 is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in power infrastructure, and we're proud to play a role in supporting that vision,” said Jacquelyn Elder, CEO of ZoKa Solutions. “Our partnership is built on aligning strategy, people, processes, and information to support complex operations and informed decisionmaking. It's exciting to work alongside a team that continues to challenge conventional thinking, and we're thrilled to see their innovation recognized on this stage.”
e2’s connected approach extends well beyond construction through Grove365®, its intelligent energy platform. Combining real-time monitoring, digital twins and predictive analytics, Grove365® helps translate operational data into actionable insights that support asset performance and maintenance decisions. e2’s experience includes more than 113 million monitoring hours across 165 customer sites with over 890 assets currently deployed in the marketplace.
Together, these capabilities help connect the people delivering infrastructure with the teams responsible for its long-term performance. Lessons from operations inform future deployments, supporting continuous improvement.
