Supercharge Tomorrow

Services Projects Experts Insights Join our team

Now is the time to accelerate beyond the standard state – it’s time to supercharge tomorrow.

Global power demand has never been higher nor has our reliance on it. So, how do we solve one of the toughest issues facing the planet? With thinking that’s charged to the max, leveraging innovations and projects that rethink the energy landscape, and how we transform, transport, or consume energy.

Our passionate engineering experts, advisors and scientists dream big to drive positive impact and deliver resilient energy solutions for communities - helping clients unlock opportunities to meet the growing demand for power, boost grid resilience and advance low-carbon solutions.

Our Power and Energy teams aim to help communities by ensuring people have the reliable energy they need to live, work and thrive. From urban infrastructure to remote areas, our teams apply deep expertise to strengthen energy systems, improve access and accelerate progress toward a secure energy future.

How do we advance energy security?

Boost grid resilience

A resilient grid is critical to reliable power delivery and long-term system performance. Our creative planning and engineering solutions for grid modernization and new transmission contribute to enhancing reliability, reducing risk, and preparing infrastructure to work for now and years to come. In helping our clients with the bulk transfer of electrical energy, we focus on securing operational reliability, security, efficiency through the lifecycle of a project. The need for larger power generation systems is also reinforcing the need for larger grid capacities, tapping into our world-leading breadth of expertise in higher voltages up to 765kv.

Meet growing power demands

To keep pace with rising demand and bring power to the people who need it, we help clients across industries diversify their energy mix and harness the power of gas, nuclear, and renewables. We provide clients with the knowledge to add co-generation, baseload power, stand-by, or emergency power, from the smallest battery to the largest processing facility. Our teams aim to deliver scalable, dependable systems to ensure that energy reaches where it's needed most.

Advance low-carbon solutions

Together, we are redefining how energy is transformed, moved and used to align with regulatory goals and sustainability targets. From electrifying transportation networks to designing energy-efficient buildings, our interdisciplinary teams aim to deliver Future Ready strategies that drive measurable impact and enhance resilience. We integrate cutting-edge technologies and renewable energy systems creating smarter, lower carbon communities for generations to come.
