The infrastructure that moves power where it is needed.

Interconnection strategy

A practical interconnection strategy connects project size and operating assumptions with utility requirements, study processes, schedule, cost, and deliverability.

Substations

Substation scope may include site planning, equipment configuration, protection, controls, communications, civil work, testing, and interfaces with utilities and generating facilities.

High-voltage transmission

Transmission development requires corridor, right-of-way, permitting, geotechnical, structural, electrical, access, construction, and stakeholder coordination.

Controls and system interfaces

Protection, metering, communications, supervisory control, and operating procedures must function across the project, substation, utility, and system-operator boundaries.

Substations and switchyards

Substations are where a project meets the network, and where a permitting or equipment lead time most often becomes the critical path. Layout, voltage, and protection philosophy are set early because they constrain everything from land take to commissioning.

• Voltage levels, bus configuration and switching philosophy
• Transformer sizing, procurement and long-lead management
• Protection, control and SCADA integration
• Land requirements, access and site security
• Utility standards compliance and witness testing

Transmission lines

Routing a line is a land, environmental and constructability problem as much as an electrical one. Alignment decisions made early determine the easements required and the objections likely to arise.

• Route selection, alignment studies and easement acquisition
• Structure type, conductor selection and clearance analysis
• Environmental and cultural resource review along the corridor
• Outage coordination for tie-ins to existing infrastructure
