Clean, Efficient and Resilient Energy Systems
Addressing climate change challenges requires both
mitigation and adaption strategies. The combination
of energy and information technology innovations
and renewable energy’s growing competitiveness are
transforming the landscape of energy services.
Technology cost reductions are leading to rapid
growth in variable renewable sources of generation,
requiring the electrical grid to be structured and
operated differently to ensure a reliable supply. With
increased capacity of solar, wind, energy storage,
combined heat and power (CHP) and other distributed
energy resources, there is an opportunity to enhance
resiliency in critical areas.
Deployment of more distributed generation resources
and the development of new technologies, such as
microgrids and energy storage, is growing to more
efficiently match supply and demand and to augment
renewables with other generation resources.
Our power sector clients are also investing in
improved physical and cybersecurity programs
intended to assure better system performance during
extreme weather and other catastrophic events.
System hardening initiatives – particularly in areas
hard hit by severe weather – and more stringent
reliability standards are driving distribution system
redesign. Severe weather events also generate a
greater need for TRC storm damage assessment
teams who provide distribution and engineering
support to our utility clients. These teams mobilize
to assess damage, develop power restoration
plans, manage construction crews, clean up
hazardous chemicals (e.g., PCBs from transformers
and substations) and provide other support for
restoration efforts.
In 12 months, our Advanced Energy group
managed projects that saved over 11 billion
kilowatt-hours. That’s equivalent to…

Between fiscal years 2016 and 2019 TRC
increased revenue from clean energy services,
including renewable energy, energy efficiency
and energy storage by 300%. We have also
supported the development of 129 solar projects
that bring approximately 10,000 MW to market.
