Addressing the key dynamics that are driving business

The U.S. electric power industry today is grappling with two enormously significant phenomena: deregulation and an aging power grid. Deregulation is placing an unprecedented emphasis on strategic business focus and competitiveness, leading utilities and independent power producers to concentrate on core competencies and search for cost efficiencies. And the California summer of 2000 placed a spotlight on the weaknesses in today’s antiquated grid and capacity management practices, leading to a renewed concentration on the network infrastructure through which power must flow to homes and businesses. As the largest electric service contractor in the country, Quanta Services is in a unique position to understand and help customers respond to these challenges.

Today, Quanta Services operates on a nationwide basis, serving as a comprehensive source for power transmission, distribution, substation, installation and maintenance services. Its network of contractors has experience dating back over 70 years, which means that its people helped to build out the existing grid. No one is more familiar with its challenges and opportunities, and no one leverages a broader array of the required capabilities.

The company’s services span the entire range of network infrastructure design, installation and maintenance needs:
