Through its new SCADA, Automation, and Communications practice area led by engineering manager, Michael Thesing, P&D will deliver clear and concise system designs, independent and objective assessments, best practice comparisons, and thorough testing and commissioning. He explains, “We understand the importance of collaborating with utility staff to help them shape, understand, and grow with technology that provides ‘real world’ benefits.”

Previously, he was a consultant with KEMA providing engineering services for transmission grids, battery energy storage, and SCADA/automation systems.
