Utilities

Municipal

Municipal-owned power utility services have the unique responsibility to provide reliable and economical power to their communities with limited resources. Often, municipal-owned systems do not have dedicated in-house engineering teams to perform all of their engineering needs. CLP Engineering has been providing engineering services to municipalities across the country that range from system modeling and studies to field troubleshooting and root cause analysis. We understand that our municipal customers need a responsive, well-rounded, and field-tested engineering team to support their technical support needs. CLPE engineers are trained and equipped to provide high-quality service in the most efficient and cost-effective way. Our experience of supporting our own utility privatization systems makes us uniquely qualified to serve municipal customers.

Cooperatives

Cooperatives are expected to provide a cost-conscious delivery of electric power through stable rates and reinvest revenue into their infrastructure to keep the system up to standards. Many of the cooperatives operate in rural areas where they have to maintain a large distribution system to serve fewer customers. Keeping stable and low rates means limited resources to maintain the system. CLP Engineering has the unique experience to support Cooperatives with their engineering needs as our team is well-versed in the full spectrum of engineering services that range from planning and design to asset management and maintenance support. Whether it is smart grid planning, distributed resources interconnections, substation design, relay and control retrofit upgrades, or field troubleshooting, we have the in-house expertise to support you.

Investor-Owned Utilities

Investor-owned utilities (IOU) have the challenge of maintaining an aging utility grid while supporting changing demands. Distributed renewable resources, storage, and electric vehicle charging needs have presented IOUs with a unique set of engineering challenges in recent years. CLP Engineering has collaborated with many IOUs across the US for infrastructure design, substation upgrades, DER integrations, and smart technology integrations. Whether it is a green-field substation design, brown-field retrofit project, interconnection design, or emergency field engineering support, CLPE is well-equipped to provide responsive and practical solutions to IOUs. We partner with other engineering disciplines such as civil, structural, and environmental firms to bring you turn-key engineering solutions in the most cost-effective way.
