Honeywell Expands Smart Energy Portfolio With SparkMeter Acquisition

Honeywell International Inc. HON has completed the acquisition of three utility platforms from SparkMeter, Inc. The utility platforms acquired by it include Praxis for data and analytics, GridScan for tracking grid performance and GridFin for managing energy costs and customer rates. The acquisition includes intellectual property as well as certain assets from SparkMeter. The financial terms of the transaction have been kept under wraps.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., SparkMeter provides grid management and intelligence solutions that support utilities in modernizing distribution infrastructure. The company serves customers in rural parts of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean regions.

Acquisition Rationale of Honeywell

The recent acquisition aligns with Honeywell’s strategy of enhancing its operations and expanding its market presence. The integration of SparkMeter’s grid intelligence technologies with Honeywell Forge Performance+ for utilities will strengthen its smart energy product portfolio. This buyout will allow Honeywell to provide utilities with scalable, data-driven solutions that automate, simplify and optimize planning, operations and asset management.

Honeywell’s expanded smart energy solutions will provide more comprehensive data management, business intelligence and analytics capabilities. These tools will help customers modernize grid infrastructure and manage rising energy demands more efficiently.

Other Notable Buyouts

Acquisitions are an essential aspect of Honeywell’s growth strategy. The company’s acquisition of Nexceris’ Li-ion Tamer business (in July 2025) will enable it to boost its fire life safety portfolio under the Building Automation business and expand its presence across energy storage and data centers markets. In June 2025, the company completed the acquisition of Sundyne. The inclusion of Sundyne’s advanced products with Honeywell Forge technology will boost its Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS) business.

In October 2024, the company closed the acquisition of Civitanavi Systems S.p.A. for about €200 million ($217 million) to boost its portfolio of aerospace navigation solutions. With the buyout, Honeywell expects to strengthen its foothold in the European Union. In September 2024, the company acquired CAES Systems Holdings LLC (“CAES”) from the private equity firm Advent. The transaction will augment its defense technology offerings across various domains, including land, sea, air and space.
