We deliver every phase of grid modernization, from lab environments to the grid.
We specialize in the full lifecycle of advanced energy management solutions: from planning and design through installation, commissioning, and operations.
Talk to Our Services TeamWe help customers through every stage of their grid modernization.
Good grid work isn't a single leap. It's a series of deliberate steps, each one earning the next — and we can start your journey, carry it to completion, or bring expertise into a specific stage.
Lab Proof of Concept
DI technology exploration and planning to assess feasibility and value drivers.
DI technical principles and key value drivers defined- Defined technical principles, key value drivers
- Build awareness, buy-in for sponsors, key stakeholders
Initial Deployment
Deploy an initial set of use cases on select feeders (e.g., worst performing) to confirm value proposition.
Initial DI solutions in operation; initial impact measurements- Broader use cases, realized benefits
- Initial impact measurements allow for adjustments
Full Deployment
Advanced solutions deployed with expanded DI app catalogue at scale and across diverse set of operating conditions.
Large-scale rollout with performance management established; software support to guide future releases- Full adoption and integration into OT architecture
- Large scale rollout with performance management established
- Software support to guide future releases
Limited Field Trials
Controlled field pilot(s) to refine and test specific technical perspectives.
Improved DI value proposition; strong executive & regulatory support- Deliver benefits based on specific use case(s) in targeted area
- Identify challenges, opportunities with broader deployment
- Strong executive & regulatory support
Expanded Deployment
Advanced solutions deployed with robust DI apps / use cases on target feeders to realize stacked benefits.
Advanced DI solutions providing measurable results; full deployment planning complete- Greater sampling: geographic area, grid scenarios, use cases
- Advanced DI solutions providing increasing results
- Full deployment planning complete

You don't need a finished spec to reach out. Whether you're scoping a commissioning job, working through an integration problem, or just weighing options, send over a few lines about the project and we'll set up a conversation to figure out how best to meet your needs.
Where we work
Our capabilities extend beyond the lab to field deployments, grid modernization, microgrids, and storage and renewable integration. We can serve traditional and emerging energy sectors as well as the rapidly growing demand for data center power infrastructure and critical facility commissioning.
- Utility field deployment and integration of new grid technologies (taking what's proven in the lab to the field)
- Grid modernization projects
- Utility-owned microgrid
- Battery energy storage system (BESS) integration and commissioning
- EV charging infrastructure deployments, particularly utility-scale or fleet-level
- Renewable generation facility interconnection and controls
- Behind-the-meter to grid integration for large C&I customers
- Oil & gas OT environments (pipeline SCADA, control systems)
- Water/wastewater utility control systems
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities with significant power infrastructure needs
- Advanced data center power management solutions
- Government-initiated, university-led research environments
- Utility vendor and technology provider support
- Military and critical infrastructure microgrids
What working with us looks like
"OES walked our team through microgrid planning step by step and gave our innovation lab a clear runway from concept to pilot."
"The resiliency analysis OES delivered held up under conditions we hadn't even modeled for yet."
"Scheduled dispatch went from a whiteboard idea to something our operators trust and use every day."
