Our Company contracted K&A Engineering to analyze large DER interconnections including running various simulations, recommending system upgrades and cost estimates summarized in a report. K&A has been able to effectively manage the large volume of studies meeting tight deadlines and communicating effectively with internal Client personnel and DER developers. K&A has been able to add and ramp up resources as necessary to meet the demand of the volume of DER applications and studies.

Manager, Distribution Planning, a Utility in Maine

The K&A team executing the Distributed Generation Program is flexible to our client needs, agile in the changing environment and always professional. The team at K&A goes the extra mile to deliver a quality Project making them a true partner in our success.

Manager, Distribution Generation Program, a Utility in Maine

Our Company has an Electric Distribution and Transmission Inspection Program, in which all facilities are inspected every 5 years. K&A was hired to develop a plan to manage the overall program of this project. They efficiently identified necessary resources for planning and construction, delivered a readily implementable work plan, provided crucial support in the program and project management, and swiftly added resources as needed. Their quick response and comprehensive approach were key to the program's success. I highly recommend K&A for management, planning, and contractual resource needs.
