Principal Consultant – Renewable Energy Advisory

Power Tek is a power systems engineering and infrastructure advisory firm established in 1994. The firm supports utilities, public agencies, and private infrastructure owners in making defensible, data-driven decisions related to energy systems, distributed generation, and grid-connected assets.

Originally founded to provide power system studies and technical advisory services to utilities, Power Tek has expanded into renewable energy evaluation, financial feasibility analysis, and independent third-party diligence for public sector clients.
