Centuri Secures More Than $300 Million in New Customer Awards, Expanding Nationwide Utility and Infrastructure Services Portfolio
Centuri Holdings, Inc. (“Centuri” or the “Company”), a leading North American utility infrastructure services provider, announced today that it has secured more than $300 million in new customer awards across the United States. The awards reflect both the Company’s diversified capabilities in energy infrastructure and the rising demand for safe, reliable, and modernized utility services in an era of rapid digitalization and growing energy needs.
This latest set of wins builds on Centuri’s previously announced $550 million in awards in July 2025, bringing its total new customer awards this summer to over $850 million. The contracts highlight Centuri’s continued momentum in the marketplace and its ability to win large, strategic projects with both long-standing and new utility partners.
Key Highlights of the $300 Million in Awards
The awards represent a mix of new contracts, expanded scopes, and long-term renewals across electric, gas, and critical infrastructure segments.
- Powering Data Center Growth in Pennsylvania: Centuri has secured additional scopes of work to provide utility infrastructure to support the expansion of data center campuses in Pennsylvania. With the demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services surging, data centers are among the fastest-growing electricity consumers in the U.S. The projects will ensure reliable power delivery to mission-critical facilities that serve millions of users.
- Gas and Electric Distribution Contracts in the Midwest and Southeast: Centuri signed two new contracts with utility clients to perform distribution services for both gas and electricity networks. These agreements involve construction, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance to support growing residential, commercial, and industrial demand in rapidly expanding regions.
- MSA Renewal With a Northeast Utility: Centuri renewed a Master Service Agreement (MSA) with a long-standing utility partner in the Northeast. The renewal underscores the Company’s track record of operational excellence, customer trust, and consistent safety performance—critical factors for utilities seeking long-term infrastructure partners.
- Grid Modernization and Hardening Projects Nationwide: Additional awarded scopes include infrastructure upgrades tied to utility capital plans, such as replacing aging systems, relocating transmission lines, and enhancing grid resilience against severe weather. These projects contribute to national priorities around grid reliability and modernization.
Industry Context: Rising Demand for Energy Infrastructure Services
The announcement comes at a pivotal time for the utility and infrastructure services sector. Several macroeconomic and industry forces are driving unprecedented investment in utility systems across North America:
- Aging Infrastructure: Much of the U.S. and Canadian utility infrastructure was built decades ago and now requires significant upgrades to meet safety and reliability standards. Companies like Centuri play a critical role in replacing outdated assets with modern, more efficient systems.
- Data Center Expansion: The digital economy—fueled by artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and streaming services—has spurred a massive increase in energy demand. Data centers are energy-intensive, and their operators require rapid deployment of power connections and resilient infrastructure, creating new opportunities for infrastructure providers.
- Grid Resilience: Extreme weather events, from hurricanes to wildfires, are placing enormous strain on electric grids. Utilities are investing heavily in grid hardening measures such as undergrounding power lines, reinforcing transmission towers, and adopting smart-grid technologies.
- Energy Transition: The broader push toward renewable energy, electrification, and decarbonization requires integrating new energy sources into existing networks. This transition demands highly skilled contractors capable of managing complex projects across gas and electric systems.
Centuri’s ability to deliver across these areas makes it a preferred partner for utilities and large infrastructure clients.
Leadership Perspective
Centuri’s President and CEO, Christian Brown, highlighted the significance of the Company’s recent wins and reaffirmed its long-term growth outlook.
“We’re pleased with the continued strong momentum in our bidding and commercial successes into the second half of the year,” said Brown. “Our most recent awards are the result of our deliberate strategy to capture end-market opportunities and deliver profitable growth. Customers continue to respond well to the positioning of our differentiated offering, which brings together the assets, capabilities, and people resources needed to deliver reliable power—all under one umbrella.”
Brown added that the Company’s success is not only measured in the value of contracts won but also in the strength of its customer relationships, safety record, and ability to deliver critical infrastructure on time and on budget.
Strategic Significance of the Awards
The $300 million in new awards represents more than incremental revenue—it reinforces Centuri’s positioning in key markets and industries.
- Strengthening Long-Term Partnerships: The MSA renewal in the Northeast signals the confidence utilities place in Centuri to manage complex projects over time.
- Capturing Regional Growth: New contracts in the Midwest and Southeast position the Company to support growing populations and industrial activity in high-demand regions.
- Supporting Digital Infrastructure: By powering data centers, Centuri is enabling the backbone of the modern digital economy.
- Driving Energy Reliability: Through infrastructure upgrades and grid-hardening projects, the Company is directly contributing to national energy resilience goals.
These strategic elements align with Centuri’s broader mission: to deliver the infrastructure that keeps energy flowing safely and reliably for millions of people.
