Growth, as the source summarises it
Powerhive may be growing as evidenced by the launch of PowerHIVE in March, which signifies a new product introduction into the market. The association with Concentric, which has acquired an East Coast power services company, suggests an expansion of operations and potentially an increase in customer reach. Furthermore, Powerhive is listed alongside other companies in the renewable energy and green technology spaces, indicating its active participation in a growing industry.
