Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial
Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial Services
Modern grids are shifting from centralized generation to distributed power assets—solar arrays on factory rooftops, community microgrids, and fast-response batteries that sit closer to the load. At the same time, large-scale renewable energy construction is accelerating worldwide; the International Energy Agency (2024) expects global renewable capacity to expand 2.7-fold by 2030, outpacing current national targets by nearly 25 percent. Together, these forces are redefining resilience, reliability, and sustainability for utilities, industry, and data-driven enterprises.
Battery Energy Storage System for Grid Resiliency
Utility-scale batteries are the fastest-growing resource on the U.S. grid. Generators added 10.4 GW of capacity in 2024, a 66% year-over-year increase (EIA, 2025). These distributed power systems enhance grid reliability and resilience against extreme weather events by providing rapid response backup power and stabilizing the grid’s frequency and voltage levels. Centuri translates storage demand into bankable megawatts, delivering fully-wrapped battery energy storage system (BESS) EPC-M contracts. Our in-house teams conduct civil works and installation of metering clusters, transformers, switchgear, underground raceways and cabling, and BESS PCS skids and enclosures. After commissioning, we service BESS projects through long-term operating and maintenance (O&M) agreements that guarantee availability, diagnostics, and dispatch support.
Data Center Construction and Engineering
AI and cloud adoption are growing exponentially, fueling a data center construction boom projected to grow 19–22% annually through 2030 (McKinsey, 2024). Centuri is prepared to meet this demand with comprehensive, turnkey solutions tailored to the needs of hyperscale and colocation providers. Our teams deliver services spanning civil works, heavy mechanical and industrial, high and medium-voltage distribution, transmission, distribution, power plants, substation and fiber conduit installation. Centuri takes an integrated approach—civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, and controls—to compress construction timelines and embed resiliency from day one.
Centuri also provides robust behind-the-meter energy solutions, including natural gas infrastructure, alternative fuel integration, and pipeline fabrication and installation to support on-site generation, redundancy, and long-term energy resilience. A key differentiator is our strategic utility partnerships across North America. We work closely with leading electric and gas utilities to coordinate infrastructure development, accelerate permitting, and ensure reliable service delivery for mission-critical facilities. From concept to completion, Centuri is a trusted partner in delivering scalable, secure, and energy-resilient data center power solutions.
Advancing Industrial and Utility-Scale Renewable Projects
Centuri’s crews have worked on solar, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), and hybrid systems that power industrial complexes, municipal microgrids, and interconnect to utilities. Our work in RNG extends from coast to coast and includes full turnkey services. With our distributed power and renewables portfolio, we help clients hit decarbonization targets while stabilizing voltage and frequency on weak grids. Whether EPC for a 500MW solar farm or an RNG project, Centuri is ready to deliver. We bring our procurement, engineering, and renewable energy construction expertise ensuring that complex projects remain on budget and on schedule.

Integrating Smart Technologies for a Sustainable Future
Digitalization enhances resiliency and amplifies every asset’s value. Centuri enables the convergence of distributed power and renewables with smart technologies by installing smart meters and IoT sensors to gather real-time data. These sensors and systems feed data into cloud analytics and DERMS platforms, enabling optimized power management. Our experts weave these digital capabilities into distributed generation, BESS, and substations, helping utilities and industrial operators to forecast load, integrate multiple renewable sources, adjust energy consumption, and monetize ancillary-service markets—all while cutting carbon and O&M costs.
