Electric Distribution Design & Utility Coordination
Expediting electric designs for developers and utilities.
About
Power & Light Consulting started with an idea: to alleviate pain points in bringing power to new developments. Our mission is to streamline the process, provide cost-saving, turnkey solutions, and reduce overall frustration for developers and utilities alike.
Having worked for the two leading electric utilities serving Central Texas (Austin Energy and Pedernales Electric Coop), in leadership and senior design roles, we are uniquely equipped to understand project pitfalls, and we have the tools and experience to help.

Aid in master-planning to create flexible designs for the future, avoiding rework and additional costs down the road. We can strategize site design and plan for relocations and removals when necessary. We’ll figure out exactly what you need and find the most economical way to achieve it.
