Powering Stability, Expanding Opportunity

This Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on what it means to be part of something larger than the systems we build.

At HCI Energy, our focus is building dependable hybrid power systems that keep critical networks running, whether that's a remote tribal broadband site, a public safety tower, or a transportation corridor supporting millions of travelers. Power infrastructure is the foundation of community stability.

Strong infrastructure alone isn't enough. Communities also need economic pathways that help people build skills, gain confidence, and pursue meaningful careers. That’s where our connection to The DeBruce Foundation brings added dimension to the work we do.

HCI Energy is part of The DeBruce Companies, a single-family office with a diverse investment portfolio spanning energy, biotech, manufacturing, technology, and real estate. The success of these enterprises helps fuel the mission of The DeBruce Foundation, a national philanthropic organization dedicated to expanding pathways to economic growth and opportunity. 

Founded in 1988, The Foundation has invested more than $150 million over the past decade in charitable initiatives. The investment supports evidence-based tools and programs, including the Agile Work Profiler© and Career Explorer Tools©. 

The reach is significant:

• 440,000+ completions of the Agile Work Profiler
• Students in 1,250+ school districts using DeBruce career tools
• Programs active across all 50 states, with statewide adoption in Indiana and Maryland

These resources help youth, adults, veterans, and justice-involved community members identify their strengths, explore careers, and build the confidence needed to pursue meaningful work.  

For HCI, this alignment runs deeper than shared ownership. Our systems keep communications online where they're needed most: tribal lands expanding broadband access, first responders in remote areas, transportation departments improving public safety, and telecom providers connecting underserved regions. Energy resilience isn't just a technical requirement. It's an enabler of economic stability, public safety, and long-term growth. 

While HCI strengthens the systems that keep people connected, The DeBruce Foundation strengthens the people themselves.

When you work with HCI Energy, you're not just powering critical infrastructure. You're helping power opportunity. Every project we deliver contributes to a broader cycle of impact, one that reaches far beyond the infrastructure we deploy.

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the customers, partners, and HCI team members who make this work possible, and for being part of an ecosystem that supports both.

Dependable power builds stability. Expanding opportunity builds mobility.
