Enabling the energy transition through innovation and sustainability.

AECOM's Energy Business Unit houses three specialised practices – renewables, transmission & distribution and, in the UK only, nuclear. Each practice plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy, offering innovative solutions that balance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

We’re committed to playing our part in the urgent transition from carbon-intensive energy sources to less centralized and more flexible energy systems. Our teams of energy professionals link up across our global network of offices to provide solutions, designs, and support to clients in multiple technical and deployment areas such as on‑shore and offshore wind power, solar power, hydro power, carbon capture, alternative fuels, hydrogen, and, crucially, energy demand assessment and carbon reduction.

With an associated deep commitment to sustainable solutions, we combine our engineering and scientific skills with those of our environmental colleagues to try to achieve equitable and biodiverse outcomes.
