San Antonio, TX — January 31, 2023 — Recently, Frost & Sullivan researched the energy and utilities customer care and engagement industry and, based on its analysis, recognizes Hansen with the 2022 Global Product Leadership Award for its best-in-class products that empower energy utilities and power retailers. The company is one of the industry leaders in the energy and utilities sector with over 50 years of operations and a comprehensive portfolio of practical solutions for customers in over 80 countries.
Hansen has demonstrated strong industry leadership by helping energy utilities and power retailers adapt to the new changes in this dynamic sector. It has also played a significant role in supporting and enabling the increased use of renewable energy and electric power in a fast-growing sector with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% and is expected to grow from $5.43 billion in 2020 to $11.94 billion in 2030.
The company is well-positioned in the market and has the potential to outperform its closest competitors due to its innovative capacity and expertise in the sector.

Hansen’s product portfolio continues to see significant uptake by new and existing customers, with the company witnessing strong momentum among European energy companies and energy providers, as well as energy providers and municipal entities in North America. A recurring theme for a few years now has been the high demand for Hansen’s trading solution – Hansen Trade – and its enhanced capabilities for the evolving Nordic market.
“A notable success in 2022 was a new agreement with Fortune-100 Exelon Corporation, as well as agreements with Community Solar companies such as Nautilus Solar, Hampshire Power and Novel Energy Solutions, as appetite for renewable sources of energy continues to grow. At the same time, Hansen continues to innovate and strengthen its best-in-class product portfolio, providing the mission-critical software that several energy and utilities providers require across the globe,” said Maria Benintende, Frost & Sullivan Principal for the Energy & Environment Practice.
