Transmission & Distribution
The energy generation, transmission, distribution and storage sector faces an urgent need to transition to a decarbonised net zero power system. This priority is driven by an increasing demand for low-carbon energy and the imperative to sustainably meet current and future power system requirements. The challenges are manifold, ranging from ageing infrastructure and the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid to the development of new assets in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
For the generation, transmission, and distribution sector, Elecwatts offers innovative grid design solutions and engineering services to resolve the challenges of a changing power systems landscape. Our expertise spans all aspects of power systems engineering, with a particular focus on transmission and distribution systems design.
Whether you’re dealing with energy transition challenges, enhancing grid capacity or integrating new technologies, our expertise will help you meet the transforming needs of the sector.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy generation is rapidly expanding in both scale and ambition. Whether you’re working on onshore or offshore wind, ground-based or floating solar, or a hub that integrates renewable sources with storage, technological advancements are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
We manage the challenges of integrating renewable technologies into existing infrastructure. Our services include grid connection adhering to due diligence, system studies and complete connection designs (POC) for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Photovoltaic (PV) systems and Wind Farms.
We’re also here to help developers navigate the grid connection application process, offering front-end due diligence for submissions and facilitating communication with network operators.
E-Mobility
Electrifying transport is a key component of reaching Net Zero. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) hinges on the availability of sufficient network capacity to support this shift.
We offer strategic and operational consulting to facilitate the widespread deployment of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Our services include master planning, capacity assurance and integrated electrical design engineering for both AC and DC EV charging infrastructure.
Data Centre
The power sector is increasingly playing a central role in the AI landscape. Access to reliable power has become a key driver for the growth of new data centres. As the power ecosystem works to meet the immense energy demands of these centres, it faces significant challenges, including limited reliable power sources, sustainability concerns, infrastructure constraints for power access, the need for power equipment within data centres, and a shortage of skilled electrical trade workers to build and expand facilities and infrastructure.
We understand the critical nature of data centres, so our commitment is to deliver robust electrical design engineering solutions tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a new build, expansion, modernisation or capacity upgrade, we’re here to help.
Our expertise ranges from point-of-connection engineering to complex electrical requirements for hyperscale facilities, colocation centres, banking data halls and server complexes. We focus on enabling redundancy and modularity to support your growth plans.
Industrial & Utilities
Industrial power demand is steadily increasing as manufacturing processes and technological advancements become more energy intensive. Efficient power management and reliable infrastructure are crucial to meet these growing demands.
Achieving efficient power balancing requires an integrated, fast-responding system that accounts for both process and power system dynamics.
By combining our skills in power system studies and electrical design engineering, we help reduce downtime for critical production loads and ensure your electrical network remains reliable and resilient post incident, all while supporting sustainability goals.
Insurance
The risks linked to both conventional and renewable power are often underestimated, creating significant challenges for insurers. As specialised electrical engineering consulting firm, we help our clients identify and address these hidden risks across a wide range of electrical plants, whether during the planning or operational phases. Our expert guidance ensures that potential issues are recognised and mitigated effectively.
We are dedicated to safeguarding your infrastructure and minimising liabilities caused by electrical asset failures. Through comprehensive investigations and audits, we assess the risks within your electrical network to help you prevent costly financial losses. Our services include risk assessments, actionable remediation recommendations, and guidance on electrical safety best practices.
Urban Master Planning, Building Services & Sports Stadiums
We offer specialised electrical engineering solutions for a wide range of urban master planning projects, including residential developments, hospitals, sports stadiums, and commercial buildings in high-density metropolitan areas. Our expertise ensures reliable power network connectivity and distribution point of connection for the building in take, achieved through close collaboration with asset owners, landowners, and network operators.
Our services encompass capacity assessments, connection strategies, on-site power distribution, EV integration readiness, and modernisation plans—each tailored to meet your project’s budget and sustainability objectives
