01 / The short version
Twelve years of drawings that got built.
Not a pitch deck number — every figure below traces to a live or completed project register.
0MW+
Generation & storage delivered
Solar PV, BESS, microgrid and substation design across the Caribbean, Europe and US.
0kV
Top design voltage
Full primary, protection and secondary design up to transmission level.
0MW
Caribbean solar PV
Designed to NEC-derived island codes across six territories.
0MW
European grid-scale storage
Grid-scale BESS delivered across Europe, including multiple 50 MW sites.
Portfolio figures are company-wide and include work delivered under client design contracts. Caribbean solar and storage totals are the sum of distinct sites in the current project register — site-by-site breakdown on the portfolio slide.
02 / Scope
One team, the whole design package.
You brief once. Nobody hands you a drawing set with a gap in it where another consultant was supposed to be.
03 / How a project runs through us
Pick up the pen at any stage.
04 / Standards
Drawn to the code your AHJ actually reads.
Click any article for what it changes on the drawings. Our Caribbean portfolio already runs on NEC-derived island codes — the US stack is our daily working set, not a learning curve.
Dual-code fluency. We produce to NEC / NFPA / IEEE / UL for the US and Caribbean, and to IEC / BS EN / G99 for the UK and EU. Same team, same drawing office — which is why an equipment package qualified in one market gets assessed against the other without a translation exercise.

66 kV
Interconnection
A national utility put the whole thing out as one EPC tender. We wrote the technical response to every schedule in the RFP and carried the full design behind it — generation, storage, transformation and the grid interface as a single coordinated package.

Why it mattered
One responsible partySolar, storage and 66 kV are usually three consultants and three sets of assumptions. Here they were one drawing office, so the interfaces closed on paper instead of on site.
Island grid, thin marginsA small network means the plant's dynamic behaviour is the utility's stability problem. Studies drove the design rather than validating it afterwards.
Bid-grade in tender timeFull technical response across every RFP schedule, delivered to the bid date.
Applies directly to US work
Same shape as an IPP interconnectionUtility-side transmission substation, generator step-up, protection scheme and a compliance case — swap 66 kV for 69 or 138 kV and IEEE 1547 for the local interconnection standard.

Rose Island design issued
Remote cays with no grid to lean on: PV, batteries and diesel have to hold frequency between them, survive a Category 4 season, and be maintainable by a crew that arrives by boat. Barge windows and container dimensions are design inputs, not logistics footnotes.

Transferable to US work
Grid-forming storageIslanded operation, black start and seamless transfer are the same engineering as a resilient US campus, data centre or hospital microgrid under NEC Art. 705 and 706.
Extreme wind designRacking, foundations and enclosures sized for hurricane loading — directly relevant to Gulf Coast, Florida and Puerto Rico work under ASCE 7.
Constrained sitesTight footprints, long cable runs and equipment that has to be craned in. Clash-free on paper because there is no second attempt.
Also delivered
Solar carportsRBC Old Fort Bay and Arawak Port — commercial PV over live parking, structural and electrical coordinated in one package.
09 / Europe
Where we learned to do volume.
Europe built grid-scale storage and solar faster than almost anywhere, on some of the tightest programmes in the industry. That is the delivery rhythm we brought with us.
8 × 50 MW
Grid-scale BESS
Eight 50 MW sites designed — 400 MW of storage.

Large BESS projects
Enough repetition that the design starts constructable.
Germany · 10 MW / 25 MWh at 132 kV
Full balance of plant132 kV substation, protection, SCADA network, cell-to-container BESS, cable system and electrical secondary design — plus OEM engagement.
The usual BESS problemNo space, an enormous cable network, drainage fighting containment, and information arriving from six suppliers at different times.
How we closed itA 10% design-stage sign-off on strategy for every scope, then one coordinated team instead of four — which is where site clashes come from.
Design outsourcing · Earth Rise Energy
We ran the design stageLed correspondence with the end client, got the design approved, engaged vendors, reviewed their document packs and stayed on through construction troubleshooting.
ResultEquipment ordered on time, packages approved by the owner's engineer and the network operator, and a smooth execution stage. Earth Rise won further projects from the same end client.
10 / Working with us
Boring in the ways that matter.
Most of our workload is repeat business. That is the only metric in this deck we would actually defend in a room.
01
Hours, not days
Most technical queries are answered the same working day, so your decisions don't sit in a queue waiting on a consultant.
02
Sign-off at 10%
Before we draw anything properly, we agree the design strategy for every scope in writing. Surprises get expensive later.
03
One drawing office
Electrical, civil, structural and studies under one roof. Site clashes are a coordination failure, so we removed the seams.
04
We ask the OEM
Where we don't already know a vendor's constraint from the last thirty projects, we go and get it rather than assume it.
05
We hold the pen
For long-standing clients we run the design phase on their behalf — vendors, reviews, RFIs and the network operator.
06
Through to site
We stay reachable during construction. Standing behind a drawing means answering for it when the crew is on the ground.

Send us a site and a deadline.
We'll come back with a scope, a fee and a programme — and if the sensible answer is that you don't need us for part of it, we'll say that too.
