Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial

WSN delivers turnkey distributed power solutions including renewable natural gas (RNG) systems. Although the U.S. has a cumulative renewable energy capacity of 430GW, more expansion is needed to achieve net zero (BloombergNEF, 2024). We are helping utilities capture this opportunity.

Our Approach

  1. Plan & Survey: We obtain all necessary regulatory permits before project commencement.
  2. Mobilize & Install: Crews mobilize our specialized equipment along with certified welders, linemen, and operators to self-perform the work, supported by either union or open-shop labor to match regional needs.
  3. Test & Commission: Prior to commissioning, all installed systems are thoroughly validated to ensure asset integrity, operational reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
  4. Restore: We restore sites to their original or improved condition.
  5. Maintain: Pre-Construction, Construction, and Post-Construction activities are structured to ensure that we support our project partners and meet their expectations.
