Don’t Let Demand on the Grid Create Barriers to Affordable Housing
When planning an affordable housing development, understanding the electrical needs of the project is critical. Equally important is assessing how the existing grid will handle the increased demand and ensuring that any necessary infrastructure modifications support anticipated growth.
LaBella’s dedicated team of power engineers specializes in bridging the gap between developers and utilities. A grid capacity evaluation includes an estimate of the anticipated post-development grid capacity, an assessment of potential upgrades, and a high-level cost estimate for any required modifications to support new housing projects. With our in-depth knowledge of utility systems, LaBella helps guide clients through the electrification process, ensuring that the grid can support the creation of affordable housing without delays or added costs.
