Power & Energy Practice

Off-grid power, solar-plus-storage microgrids, and backup feasibility for the assets the central grid does not reach.

Much of the critical infrastructure remote and northern communities depend on operates where the electrical grid does not reach, or where grid availability is unreliable. Our feasibility studies establish whether a power system architecture is viable, how it will be constructed, and what it costs across its operational life cycle, providing leadership with a bankable baseline to make informed decisions and secure capital funding.

Remote & Off-Grid Power Feasibility

A comprehensive upstream study for assets located beyond the traditional grid edge. We evaluate power requirements, compare prime-power options, analyze technical trade-offs, and project total life-cycle costs. This delivers the foundational data a community requires before selecting an off-grid power strategy or procuring hardware.

Solar-Plus-Battery Hybrid Assessment

Viability assessments for microgrids and hybrid power systems, pairing solar PV generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS) with backup diesel generation to displace expensive fuel imports. We model site-specific load profiles, physical footprint constraints, environmental durability, and multi-year degradation to ensure long-term energy resilience.

Backup Power & Energy Storage Feasibility

Energy storage and uninterruptible power system (UPS) sizing for mission-critical loads. We define essential circuits, calculate required ride-through autonomy during main supply failures, and specify the physical and electrical safeguards necessary to guarantee continuous operation. This study directly supports our telecommunications and SCADA field sites, where power reliability determines system uptime.

Core Deliverables

  • Empirical baseline: existing infrastructure and real-world performance mapped against operational needs.
  • Comparative options analysis: an objective, side-by-side technical trade-off matrix.
  • Life-cycle TCO modeling: capital expenditures (CapEx) and long-term operational costs (OpEx).
  • Actionable deployment roadmap: a phased execution plan.
  • Funding-ready documentation: technical artifacts built to withstand rigorous grant evaluation.
