Electricity. Connectivity. AI.

The Operating System of Tomorrow’s Buildings.

A commercial real estate transformation is underway. From electrification and microgrids to AI-driven control systems and real-time connectivity—ChargedUp! helps owners, operators, and investors make sense of the change and capitalize on it through news, trends and events. Join us in Detroit for the second ChargedUp! Pavilion at the APA's National Planning Conference April 25th - 27th, 2026.

About ChargedUp™

Energy systems are changing faster than the grid that supports them.

As costs rise, constraints tighten, and intelligence becomes essential, property owners and operators are moving beyond traditional utility dependence. Solar, wind, battery storage, heat pumps, microgrids, and automated control systems are no longer experimental—they are operational necessities.

ChargedUp™! exists to make sense of this transition.

We publish independent reporting, analysis, and practical frameworks focused on how modern energy infrastructure performs in the real world—financially, operationally, and at scale. By joining the ChargedUp™ community, you can stay informed on all the latest industry insights.
