Experience and Innovative Solutions Produce Power – Lots of It
Energy is a most precious resource. Meeting growing energy demand in a safe and more sustainable way is essential, and is our passion. In addition to long-standing support of traditional gas and electric utility operations, public and private clients turn to Tighe & Bond for our expertise in renewable energy development including biomass, hydro, solar photovoltaic, and wind power.
Timely, Practical, and Cost Effective
Our traditional solutions address aggressive utility expansion plans, along with the demands of existing facility operations, aging infrastructure and regulatory compliance, and unforeseen emergencies. We focus on delivering timely, practical, and cost-effective strategies that address the complex challenges facing power utilities today.
Supporting energy generation development is equally critical. We help clients evaluate and develop wind, solar photovoltaic, biomass, hydropower, and anaerobic digestion projects at facilities and sites throughout New England. This includes preparing requests for proposals, plans and specifications, and assistance with securing grant funding for eligible projects.
