A New Leader, a New Partner, and Preparing for Meteoric Growth

A record-breaking 2020 hurricane season resulted in Pike restoration crews being deployed to 15 states, from Texas to Connecticut, to get the power back on in the aftermath of hurricanes Isaias, Laura, Sally, Delta and Zeta, with four of the storms requiring more than 1,000 people to be deployed. At the height of the response to Laura, the most destructive of the hurricanes, Pike had three times the number of linemen as the next largest contractor. Acquisition of electrical contractors PowerTown Construction and Mesa Line Services in late 2021, along with right-of-way-focused Burford’s Construction in 2022 and a leader in transmission and substation engineering and project management expertise with United Grid Solutions in 2024, Pike continued to strengthen all aspects of utility customers’ potential needs. In 2023, James R. Wyche was named chief executive officer, and Eric moved to the chairman role. In late 2025, TPG acquired a majority interest in Pike with a view to work with James and the management team to support the impending growth. With over 12,000 employees generating less than $3 billion in revenue, Pike continues to be a natural leader in designing, managing and constructing the country’s energy infrastructure.
