Battery Energy Storage Systems

 

For more than five decades, TRC has brought efficient, resilient energy systems to the world. We understand the challenges of implementing energy storage projects from both the developer and utility perspective. Our end-to-end solutions- from project management to engineering design, planning, permitting, construction management and testing and commissioning – ensure success both behind and in-front of the meter.

Developers: Our engineering and environmental experts help you better understand the technical and regulatory requirements necessary to bring systems online. We take on site design and permitting and guide you through system studies, automation and controls engineering, civil design, construction management and interconnection.

Utilities: Because storage is a new and rapidly advancing opportunity to solve grid resiliency, reliability and efficiency issues, you may be short on internal resources to move your projects forward. TRC is your trusted partner delivering solutions across the entire energy storage value chain- from business case strategy through design and build.
