(UI) — Stantec has been selected by the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) for a new five-year, $104 million master services agreement (MSA) aimed at upgrading and modernizing electrical infrastructure across greater Los Angeles.
The agreement is part of LADWP's Power System Reliability Program (PSRP) to renew aging infrastructure and advance the clean energy transition.
Under the agreement, Stantec will serve as one of the Owner’s Representatives, providing a range of services, including transmission planning studies, reliability assessments, and economic evaluations. The firm will also offer consulting services for construction, maintenance, safety, quality assurance, testing, and commissioning as needed.
In addition to infrastructure upgrades, Stantec will conduct planning and feasibility studies, renewable resource assessments, and reliability evaluations. The scope of work also includes engineering services for conventional and renewable energy projects, covering civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, and geotechnical engineering.
"Modernizing and expanding electrical infrastructure is crucial for delivering power safely and reliably, especially as we integrate more renewable energy into the grid," said Mario Finis, executive vice president of Energy & Resources at Stantec.
Stantec's Energy & Resources team specializes in power delivery services, including generation, transmission, and grid modernization projects. The firm is also involved in significant projects like the SunZia Transmission Project, which is part of the largest clean energy infrastructure initiative in U.S. history.
