Electric Transmission System Planning

Transmission system planning involves determining and scheduling the additions and changes that will need to be made to a high-voltage power transmission grid as future conditions, including demand for power, change. Transmission planning and transmission studies for electric utilities and regional operators represents about fifteen percent of Quanta Technology’s on-going business and is the single biggest element of our business. Our transmission group consists of four teams led by some of the most widely recognized and respected transmission planners in the power industry, Don Morrow, Tom Gentile, Len Januzik, and Gerald Sheble to name a few. They are supported by a team of over 30 experienced and innovative utility system planners. Contact information and links to information about their background and teams is provided in the final portion of this page.
