Energy Initiatives Group, LLC (EIG) is a specialized group of experienced professionals that provide project development, planning, strategy, execution, management, engineering, and operations consulting in the areas of electric transmission, generation, distribution, transportation, and renewable energy services.   We provide these services to traditional utility companies, project developers, regulatory agencies, energy companies, financial organizations, transportation companies, government agencies, and other organizations in the energy industry.

Consulting with Experience

EIG’s staff collectively possesses many years of experience in the electric energy and utility industry, and have successfully conceived, developed, and executed many real-world projects involving real-world challenges.   Some of these projects have included:

• Planning, developing, constructing, and operating a 700 mile 2000 MW +/- 450 kV DC transmission system linking the US and Canada;

• Developing the reference plant electrical design for a modern 280 MW combined cycle single-shaft power train;

• Planning, managing, constructing, and commissioning a 490 MW combined cycle repowering of a 1920s-era generating plant;

• Coordinating, engineering, and designing portions of a 150 mile mainline railroad electrification system and its utility supply interconnections;

• Planning, developing, managing, constructing, and operating a 26 mile submarine cable system and interconnections between an island community and the mainland;

• Negotiating and executing power supply agreements for over 2,000 MW of large combined cycle capacity and energy, and over 600 MW of wind resources along with supply of associated renewable energy credits.

This hands-on experience is enhanced by careers forged in the engineering, financial, management, and executive levels of utility, energy, consulting, and manufacturing companies.   We are able to draw upon these collective and diverse talents to provide a solid work product that holds up to the tests and challenges of today’s energy business.

We have worked on projects and assignments in practically every region in the US, and have interfaced with over 35 utility companies and over a dozen reliability councils and ISOs/RTOs.   Some of these entities have in turn looked to EIG to provide consulting services to help with their own challenges.
