Global energy management company WaveTech Global has officially closed its purchase of specific assets belonging to Power Analytics, a real-time power modelling simulation and management software provider.

Power Analytics previously had a strong presence in the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia, where it protected more than US$120 billion in customer assets.

All Power Analytics staff will continue their roles under WaveTech Global's group of companies. Power Analytics' Kevin Meagher will also join senior leadership.

“The WaveTech Global team has created an exceptional platform to address mission critical markets in telecommunications, energy storage, utilities, information technology (especially data centers) and renewable generation in all markets,” says Meagher.
