Inspired by "Man in the Arena" by Theodore Roosevelt The above quote stirs in us ambitions about the energy transition we are journeying through here at Extropic Energy. In an unprecedented manner, our society has ambitious goals to expand infrastructure while simultaneously reducing emissions towards a goal of net zero. The electrical and energy industry is experiencing tremendous transformation driven by the convergence of climate mandates, electrification, new technologies, and the cost effectiveness of renewable and distributed energy resources. At Extropic Energy, we consider the electrical and energy distribution system to be key to the solution. This perspective is critical as existing natural gas heating loads are transitioned to zero emission and electrical sources. Moreover, there is a tremendous opportunity to reduce electrical infrastructure while simultaneously increasing resiliency and sustainability. By envisioning the entire lifecycle of a project, starting with the vision and continuing through design, engineering, permitting, construction, as-builts, and asset management, we bring maximum value to our clients. Extropic Energy is advancing energy modernization and resilient power infrastructure using a 3D digital twin project approach. We have developed dozens of electric utility master plans and used some of the most advanced techniques for modeling the growth of campuses, communities, and cities. Combined, our team has 150+ years of experience that encompasses nearly every aspect of electric utilities, building electrical/energy systems, and energy management. We are a digitally accelerated engineering firm. We pride ourselves on offering all the software and hardware tools needed to complete a project. Some of our tech is just cool!
