2026 Top 40 Electrical Design Firm Projects in the Spotlight: Part 1
The top electrical design firms in the country continued their record-setting run in 2025, with EC&M’s 2026 Top 40 Electrical Design Firms reporting combined electrical design revenue of $5.776 billion in 2025 — a 10.6% increase over the previous year. Much of that growth was driven by explosive demand in the data center sector as the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure fueled unprecedented investment in power-intensive facilities, utility upgrades, and related electrical systems work.
