The Problem
The Grid Gap is Real. The Timeline is Not Forgiving.
Data center developers are signing land leases, ordering equipment, and making billion-dollar commitments — before they know if or when the grid can actually serve them.
Successful developers aren't the ones who move fastest — they bring in power systems experts first, not last.

What Makes EPE Different
- We're Independent
No construction arm. No equipment sales. No conflict of interest. EPE's only job is to get your project connected and operating — on your terms.
- We Know Every Queue
We operate across ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, MISO, SERC, and SPP. We know the utilities, the study teams, and the process landmines in every major market. That knowledge accelerates your timeline.
- We're At the Frontier
Our research partnerships with the National Lab of the Rockies (formerly NREL) on GPU load modeling and CHIL testing, and participation in the Power and AI Initiative (PAI) at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard University, put us 18–24 months ahead of new utility requirements. Our clients are ready before the mandates hit.
Our Work: Data Center Siting for a Global Hyperscaler
The client, known for powering large-scale digital services, sought optimal data center locations across the U.S. Midwest but faced challenges with infrastructure, grid connectivity, and energy capacity.
EPE crafted a comprehensive, multi-faceted solution to address the hyperscaler’s challenges, focusing on both advanced analytics and tailored technical consulting. By leveraging heat maps and policy-driven insights, EPE enabled data-backed decisions, supporting a landmark multibillion-dollar investment and an extended scope of partnership into new regions.
"When I say partnership, I mean that. EPE doesn't just hand you a study — they stay in the room until the problem is solved."

Data Centers, AI, and the Future of Power Systems
Gigawatt-scale AI data centers are entering interconnection queues across the country, but traditional grid planning tools weren't designed for these large loads. The questions from ISOs and utilities are getting harder. The timelines are getting longer. And the old approaches to load modeling and grid integration aren't working. Join us for this on-demand technical discussion to discover what's changing – and what it means for your project.
