Utilities Industry Expertise

Powering grid modernization across Texas — from SAP IS-U to pole infrastructure.

Texas utilities are in the middle of the largest infrastructure investment in a generation. System Resiliency Plans approved by the PUCT are driving billions of dollars in grid hardening, pole replacement, and distribution modernization — and utilities need trusted partners who understand both the technology and the field.

Our founder built and sold an IT services company and has longstanding relationships with many utilities. “Today, Merlin serves utilities with enterprise IT transformation from SAP IS-U and smart meter integration to OT cybersecurity and cloud modernization.”
