For large and rapidly growing loads, obtaining sufficient power can be as important as the price of power itself. CRA’s Energy Practice helps clients understand utility service options, infrastructure requirements, interconnection processes, timing, costs, and risks associated with new facilities and major load expansions.
Our teams combine transmission and distribution expertise with utility regulatory and commercial experience. We help clients independently evaluate proposed utility solutions, understand potential alternatives, and engage effectively with utilities and other stakeholders.
For clients evaluating multiple locations, CRA can compare utilities and markets based on available capacity, infrastructure requirements, development timelines, costs, reliability, and commercial terms.
Our services include:
- Power availability and headroom assessment
- New and expanding load interconnection
- Transmission and distribution system analysis
- Utility infrastructure requirements
- Time-to-power assessment
- Utility proposal evaluation
- Infrastructure cost and schedule assessment
- Service configuration and reliability analysis
- Alternative service and infrastructure solutions
- Utility engagement and negotiation support
