Renewable Energy

We have been actively involved in the solar industry since the late 1980s, with extensive experience in both solar PV and CSP projects. Our work with clients throughout the U.S. and globally makes us one of the most well-versed engineering and consulting firms in the world, providing quality, comprehensive services for all stages of a project’s lifespan.

We provide a full range of services for solar projects from concept and design through operations, maintenance, and decommissioning. Our global experience ranges from utility- and commercial-scale all the way to rooftop-sized projects. We provide owner’s engineering, independent engineering technical due diligence, and full-scope engineering and design of solar projects.

Currently, we support over 5 GW of solar PV projects in the role of owner’s engineer and provide independent engineering services for multiple clients consisting of tax equity investors and lenders. Our experience also includes battery energy storage integration, solar resource and energy yield assessments, conceptual solar field layouts, full-scope detailed design of solar projects, interconnection planning, construction monitoring and management, performance testing, and operations and maintenance support.

The work we do occurs through all stages of a project’s lifespan, and our significant solar project experience has enabled us to make notable impacts on the industry, as well as remain at the leading edge of new technologies and applications.

We have been actively involved in wind power since the early 2000s, gaining extensive experience, including work on over 250 projects in just the last five years. We have a deep familiarity with wind project planning, development, design, construction, and operations, making us one of the most knowledgeable engineering firms in the world, providing quality, comprehensive services for all stages of a project’s lifespan.

We provide wind power project services to project developers, contractors, owners, operators, lenders, and investors. We currently work on multiple large wind projects in detailed design, owner’s engineering, and independent engineering roles.

Our extensive background covers all phases of a wind project’s lifespan, from concept and development to detailed design and procurement, construction, and operation. We provide services including full plant design, site screenings, project feasibility studies, resource assessments, owner’s and independent engineering, interconnection planning, full and partial repowering, conceptual engineering, contract development, detailed engineering, design reviews, construction monitoring, commissioning, and operations and maintenance support.

We are well-versed in the various wind turbine designs that exist across the industry, participating actively in the ASCE/AWEA committee that prepared a U.S. code for the design of wind turbine foundations.

We deliver comprehensive support for geothermal power plant projects from concept to completion. Drawing on our multi-disciplinary expertise, we guide clients through development, design, construction, and commissioning. This includes early feasibility studies, strategic planning, permitting, grid interconnection, and project implementation. We offer solutions for all geothermal power generation technologies – dry steam, flash steam, binary cycle, and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) – and tailor them to each project’s unique geological and operational needs.

We provide a full suite of engineering and advisory services to support geothermal energy and large-scale geothermal direct-use projects. As independent engineers, owner’s engineers, or detailed design partners, we bring objective technical insight and a steadfast commitment to quality. Our team supports new project development, optimization, and upgrades for existing facilities, delivering practical, innovative approaches that enhance the value and reliability of our clients’ geothermal assets, including advanced EGS applications.

We provide technical support for the evaluation of new and emerging technologies in power and industrial applications. Using sound engineering fundamentals and decades of experience, we assist clients as they look to new technologies for their future projects or improvements to existing operations. Our broad range of expertise in power technologies and engineering concepts provide us the experience and depth of knowledge to appropriately assess the many risks associated with new and emerging technologies.

We provide technical expertise to lenders, investors, developers, and technology providers pursuing new technologies in industrial and utility markets. We have supported projects ranging from first-of-a-kind methane pyrolysis projects to cryogenic carbon capture systems, gigawatt scale hydrogen projects, and novel manufacturing processes. Our extensive background in industrial and utility scale projects allows us to provide technical expertise in all phases of a project including early development and design, manufacturing, pilot projects, and commercial deployment.

Our history of executing first-of-a-kind projects gives us a unique perspective on technology risk, market risk, supply chain risk, and contract risk that is critical to successfully commercializing new technologies.

Our subject matter experts hold numerous committee positions in many leading professional associations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which puts us at the forefront of technology standards as new technologies enter the market. Our subject matter experts are also well-versed in the financial and commercial aspects of projects, allowing us to provide expertise across the full scope of technology deployment.
