Data Center Power Engineering

We Understand the Gap and We Bridge It

Data centers move fast. Utilities manage risk. When those timelines don’t align, it can slow everything down. That’s where we come in.

NEI has spent decades working on both sides of the power equation. We speak utility fluently—substations, studies, interconnection processes, and compliance standards—and we understand the pace, constraints, and urgency of data center development. Our role is to bridge that divide with a proactive strategy rooted in technically sound solutions, clear communication, and realistic timelines that work for everyone.

We help developers anticipate utility requirements, and we support utilities in delivering reliable service under increasing demand, without compromising safety, standards, or grid stability.

We’re Built for Projects Like Yours

We don’t just hand over drawings. We bring clarity, momentum, and follow-through.

Our engineers are trusted partners, not just vendors—consultative, collaborative, and committed to your success from concept through commissioning. With in-house electrical, civil, and structural expertise, we offer coordinated solutions that reduce risk, streamline reviews, and support both fast-track builds and long-term system resilience.

Whether you’re a developer looking to move quickly, or a utility balancing limited resources with rising interconnection pressure, NEI brings the experience to move your project forward with confidence.

Our Data Center Services include:

• Utility interconnection support and grid coordination
• Electrical system studies and modeling
• SCADA and automation design, programming, and commissioning
• High-voltage and medium-voltage substation design
• Medium voltage distribution system design
• Standby power systems: diesel, battery, hybrid, and other
• Civil engineering for grading, drainage, and site layout
• Construction and energization support for both developers and utilities

Solutions That Deliver—Today and Tomorrow

Data center projects don’t leave much room for delay or guesswork. Whether it’s a new campus with an aggressive timeline or a retrofit in a constrained service area, NEI brings the experience and clarity to get you there.

We understand what’s at stake for all parties involved—from the developers building mission-critical infrastructure to the utilities responsible for powering it reliably. That’s why we stay close to your team, flag risks early, and design systems that work on day one and hold up long-term.

From permitting and interconnection to final energization, NEI is the partner you call when power can’t be an afterthought.
