Transmission & Substation Expertise You Can Build On

From Planning to Energization

The Spear Group provides professional services that support the successful delivery of complex transmission and substation projects. Whether building out high-voltage corridors or upgrading substation automation, we partner with utilities and EPCs to manage risk, ensure regulatory alignment, and maintain control over scope, cost, and schedule.

We don’t build the infrastructure—we ensure it gets built right. As an integrated partner, we bring the oversight, planning, and field-level execution support that power project success from planning through energization.
