Energy:
Enabling the energy transition through innovation and sustainability.
AECOM's Energy Business Unit houses three specialised practices — renewables (including hydropower), electrical transmission & distribution and in the UK only, nuclear. Each practice plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy, offering innovative solutions that balance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
Renewables
We’re committed to playing our part in the urgent transition from carbon-intensive energy sources to less centralised and more flexible energy systems. Our teams of energy professionals link up across our global network of offices to provide solutions, designs, and support to clients in multiple technical and deployment areas such as: hydropower, on and offshore wind power, solar power, carbon capture, alternative fuels, hydrogen and, crucially, energy demand assessment and carbon reduction. With an associated deep commitment to sustainable solutions, we combine our engineering and scientific skills with those of our environmental colleagues to try to achieve equitable and biodiverse outcomes.
