NEWARK, N.J. — Lime Energy Co., a leading provider of energy efficiency services to utilities and their commercial customers, announced that it is moving its corporate headquarters from Huntersville, North Carolina, to Newark, New Jersey. The company said the move reflects a continued refocus on its small and mid-sized business (SMB) energy efficiency programs that were originally started in New Jersey in 2009 by Lime Energy’s Energy Services business unit. Over the past six years, this business unit has made the company a leading provider of turnkey energy services to SMBs.

The move to New Jersey completes a transition that Lime Energy began 18 months ago when the New Jersey-based management team of the SMB Energy Services business unit was selected to run the company. This followed the sale of its Public Sector business unit to a North Carolina-based company, and although Lime Energy is relocating its corporate headquarters, the company said it remains committed to the Carolinas. Lime Energy will continue to serve several major utility clients from its Southeast Regional Operations Center in Huntersville, North Carolina. The company will also maintain its West Coast Regional Operations Center in Redlands, California, and its Northeast Regional Operations Center in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
