Define the load and operating profile.
Demand, load profile, voltage, growth, and site conditions shape the requirement.

Power Infrastructure
Power the Project.
Build the Path
to Get There.
Capacity. Reliability. Equipment. Timing. The challenge may be one critical requirement—or the complete power pathway.
Convex starts with what the project needs, explores practical options, and helps connect the infrastructure and independent capabilities that can move it forward.

Start With the Requirement
01 / DEFINE THE NEEDStart With Capacity, Reliability, and Timing.
The right power pathway starts with the requirement—not a predetermined technology. A clearer brief makes it easier to compare options, identify constraints, and bring the right specialists into the conversation.
Reliability
Identify critical loads and continuity needs.
Critical loads, redundancy, resilience, and operating expectations inform the configuration.
Schedule
Set the required energization date.
Compare project milestones with utility, interconnection, and equipment delivery timelines.
Commercial Reality
Match the commercial structure to project conditions.
Ownership, capital, operating cost, fuel or energy supply, and commercial structure matter.
Power Pathways
02 / EXPLORE THE CONFIGURATIONThere May Be More Than One Way to Power a Project.
The project requirement helps determine which pathway—or combination—may fit. Convex helps frame the options and connect the people who can assess and deliver them.
PROJECT REQUIREMENT PRACTICAL POWER OPTIONS
Utility / Grid
Connect to available utility capacity.
Capacity, service upgrades, interconnection, reliability, and energization timing need to align with the project.
Behind-the-Meter Generation
Generate power at or near the facility.
Onsite generation may serve a primary, supplementary, resilience, or bridge role. Fuel, emissions, permitting, operations, and utility requirements need evaluation.
Energy Storage
Manage when power is used—and how it responds.
BESS can support peak management, resilience, and coordinated power delivery. Duration, charging source, controls, and the load profile determine what it can do.
Hybrid & Microgrid
Coordinate more than one source or resource.
Grid, generation, and storage may work together through a defined electrical and controls strategy. Integration is part of the pathway.
Commercial layer
PPA / Energy-as-a-Service
A PPA or EaaS structure may shape how power, equipment, and operating responsibilities are contracted and funded. It sits alongside the physical configuration; it does not replace the technical requirement.
Electrical Infrastructure
03 / MAKE THE SYSTEM WORKGenerating Power Is Only Part of the Problem.
A source of power still needs an electrical system that can transform, protect, control, and distribute it. Equipment, engineering, protection, controls, and installation need to fit together.
GRID / GENERATION / STORAGE
Transform
Match power to the required voltage.
Transformers · Substations
Protect
Isolate faults and protect the system.
Switchgear · Protection
Control
Coordinate sources, storage, and loads.
Controls · Generation · BESS
Distribute
Deliver power to the operating facility.
Distribution · Packaged Electrical Systems
OPERATING FACILITY
The scope may include transformers, switchgear, substations, power generation equipment, BESS, or packaged electrical systems. The design and project conditions define what is needed.
The Schedule Problem
04 / WHEN TIMELINES DIVERGESometimes the Power Challenge Is the Schedule.
Utility timelines, interconnection delays, and long-lead electrical equipment can put the project need date ahead of the permanent power solution. That gap deserves its own plan.
Project need date
Power is needed.
Construction, commissioning, operations, expansion, or a replacement requirement.
THE GAP
Utility / equipment delivery date
Permanent route is ready.
Utility service, interconnection, or electrical infrastructure may arrive later.
Ways to Bridge the Schedule Gap.
Investigate bridge power, phased energization, temporary or onsite generation, alternative configurations, and accelerated equipment sourcing where the project conditions allow.
Convex helps clarify the constraint and bring relevant capabilities into the discussion. Feasibility, safety, approvals, technical compatibility, and verified availability shape the next step.
DEFINED REQUIREMENTS
05 / FROM REQUIREMENT TO DELIVERYStart With the Design or Equipment Requirement.
Bring the defined requirement. The next conversation may focus on critical power equipment sourcing, procurement, engineering coordination, and execution capability.

06 / CONNECT THE MISSING PIECESSome Power Problems Need More Than a Purchase Order.
An equipment requirement may sit inside a larger project problem. Convex helps identify the missing pieces and bring appropriate capabilities into the conversation.
Convex’s role is to understand and connect. Engineering, construction, financing, utility services, and other specialist work remain with the qualified organizations responsible for them.
