URE® is proud of the client partners we have earned and often retain for many years. Our roster of clients includes Constellation New Energy, New Energy Equity, Georgia Power, Green Power EMC, Birdseye Renewable Energy, O2 emc, and Origis Energy. URE® is a licensed multi-state general and electrical contractor, with many of our team members certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), OSHA 30 trained, and BROWZ® qualified. We are certified by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).

Your entire team helped us complete the project on time and within budget, with minimal oversight. I thank you for your team’s professional work and am highly satisfied with the project.
