Transmission & DistributionPlanning, power system studies, and the software to scale them

We help utilities and energy organizations solve grid challenges through software, power systems expertise, data, and design—supporting both transmission and distribution planning. From interconnection studies and time-series hosting capacity to platforms like Minerva, we build tools that make complex studies faster, clearer, and easier to scale.

Power system studies are getting harder.

More scenarios. More constraints. More pressure to move faster without risking reliability.

At the same time, the tools and processes behind these studies haven’t kept up.

We work alongside utilities and energy organizations to run studies, improve workflows, and automate the work behind them, helping teams move faster with confidence.

One focus: better study workflows at scale

Everything we do is focused around T&D planning and power system studies.

Power system modeling and studies

Planning, interconnection, and system analysis support from a team that understands the work

Automation and custom software

Tools that reduce manual effort and standardize how studies get done

Purpose-built platforms

Solutions like Minerva and ANODE designed for large-scale analysis

We don’t treat these as separate services.
They work together to help you run better studies and scale your capabilities.

Built for engineers doing the work

Your team understands the grid. The challenge is keeping up with the complexity around it.

We combine power system expertise with software to remove repetitive work, improve visibility, and support real study workflows.

The goal isn’t to replace your engineers. It’s to make them more effective.

A practical approach to scaling studies

Work alongside your team

We start by understanding your studies and workflows in detail

Improve and automate

We identify bottlenecks and build tools for faster, more consistent workflows

Scale and
evolve

As your system and needs grow, your tools and processes grow with you

Real Results in Utility Workflows

We don’t just build tools—we solve real operational challenges.

Facility Ratings Modernization

Problem: Facility ratings were scattered, manual, and error-prone.

Solution: A digital ratings system that increases accuracy, granularity, and compliance.

Hosting Capacity Analysis

Problem: Rapid load growth made transmission capacity harder to evaluate quickly and reliably.

Solution: A hosting capacity tool that speeds analysis and drives smarter grid expansion.

Outage Planning & Reliability

Problem: Critical maintenance data was hard to access, slowing outage planning and operations.

Solution: A platform (ANODE) that centralizes data and accelerates reliability decisions.

Minerva

Faster, smarter planning 
with clear grid intelligence.

Minerva gives planners and developers transparent, visual, and actionable insights into hosting capacity and interconnection timing. This means utilities and their partners get fast, intuitive ways to analyze their systems — with no coding or from-scratch modeling required. Minerva is one example of how we turn complex grid challenges into usable tools.
