EPG personnel have provided siting and licensing services for more than 200 energy projects, including transmission lines, substations, power plants, and renewables. Our experience extends back 30 years, but in the last several years alone, we have sited and licensed more than 20 power lines in five states, ranging in size from 500 kilovolts (kV) to 69kV.
