The energy and power industries are undergoing unprecedented disruption on a global scale.
We’re motivated by the limitless applications of clean energy solutions — taking complex grid, resiliency, security and decarbonization goals and solving them in ways that positively impact our communities. Responding to the energy trilemma of security, affordability and sustainability we’re shaping energy transition pathways for our clients to achieve clean, low carbon, resilient and affordable outcomes. We’re pushing the limits of what’s possible.
Our solutions
-
Renewable energy
We’re co-creating clean generation solutions across a globally diverse team with strong multi-sector connectivity across power, energy, water, digital, manufacturing, transport, infrastructure and more.
-
Energy storage
As the world turns to intermittent forms of renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, energy storage will become increasingly important to provide short-and long-term balance in our power systems.
We’re at the forefront of energy storage including the design and feasibility of large pumped hydro energy storage projects; small and large-scale battery energy storage schemes (BESS); optimization of generation-pumping cycles; optimization of reservoir capacities for generation; pumping and provision of ancillary services and integration studies with existing generation assets.
-
Hydrogen
With the potential to decarbonize a broad spectrum of industries, hydrogen is receiving attention in many countries around the world as an alternative energy storage solution. As hydrogen production technologies evolve and renewable energy costs decline, large-scale zero-emissions hydrogen production may be more viable now than ever before. The broad utilization of hydrogen has potential to play an important role in our drive toward a decarbonized, sustainable future.
-
Transmission & distribution
Serving as the connective tissue of an energy grid, transmission and distribution (T&D) networks are facing a paradigm shift. Existing gas and coal-dependent energy infrastructure is being modernized to accommodate the amount of renewable energy necessary to meet net-zero targets and build sustainably.
This ranges from new High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) / High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) transmission grids accommodating large offshore generation projects to smart distribution networks that are able to absorb large demands from electric vehicles (EV) and other distributed energy resources.
Our team supports global utilities, renewable developers and conventional generation owners/operators in all project phases ranging from pre-feasibility studies, navigating various development and interconnection milestones, to engineering design, procurement, installation, commissioning and operation.
-
Thermal generation & distributed heat
We’re leading the transition with lower emission base load alternatives such as high efficiency combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT), biomass generation facilities and energy-from-waste (EfW). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions are a key part of meeting the decarbonization challenge.
We’re designing and implementing efficient combined heat and power (CHP) and district energy projects for utilities, private and public sector entities, including universities, health care campuses, federal agencies and businesses. We tackle the interrelated tasks and processes - from detailed planning through implementation addressing all aspects of efficient and reliable CHP project development.

NewsJacobs Completes Underground Infrastructure Engineering for the First Full-Scale Wave Energy Test Facility in the US
Jacobs completed the underground infrastructure engineering for the PacWave South commercial-scale, ocean wave energy testing facility. The PacWave South project in Seal Rock, Oregon, will be the first pre-permitted, full-scale test facility for wave energy devices in the U.S., and was delivered for Oregon State University (OSU). Jacobs led the engineering services for the HDD Company, the design-build contractor for the project, to support the evaluation and testing of new energy generation technologies to turn offshore ocean waves to onshore renewable electricity.

ReportStrategy for Long-Term Energy Storage in the UK
This paper by Jacobs' Global Technical Lead for Hydropower, Simon Bailey, focuses on the need for developing further long-term energy storage in the U.K. to increase the use of surplus renewables generation, helping the country to reach its objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It also investigates the current market barriers that are preventing further long-term storage developments from being implemented in the U.K. at present and suggests alternative market mechanisms that could be introduced to encourage potential developers to enter the market.

NewsAs Demand for Power Grows, Airports are At Risk: A New Report Shows What We Need to Do Next
Airports are significant economic drivers where mobility and commerce meet. As electrification and decarbonization accelerate while air travel continues to grow, airports will need five times more power than currently available to meet demand and avoid disruption, according to a new study co-created by Jacobs and summarized by Global Vice President Energy Transition Graeme Cooper and Vice President Aviation Americas, Steve Pelham.
