Electrical Power, Lighting and Energy Coordination

New equipment, a different use or backup power can change the building’s electrical needs. True North coordinates load information, utility interfaces and design documents with the responsible electrical professionals.

For owners, project teams and delivery partners nationwide. The written scope identifies True North’s work, the responsible professionals and any separately contracted construction.

What the scope can include

Select the work and handoff your project needs. The agreement identifies the included deliverables and responsibilities.

  • Service and distribution

    Collect loads, existing service data, panel and feeder information and utility requirements. Coordinate distribution, metering and equipment access with the site and building layout.

  • Lighting and equipment power

    Coordinate interior, exterior and emergency-lighting requirements, controls and equipment connections. Align manufacturer inputs and circuiting with mechanical, plumbing, fire and communications systems.

  • Backup power and energy projects

    Organize generator, transfer, storage, solar and vehicle-charging interfaces where included. Technical design, utility interconnection, fire review and installation responsibilities remain explicitly assigned.

Prepare for the assignment

You can start with incomplete records. Tell us what is available and what still needs to be established.

  • Information to bring

    Existing electrical records, utility service information, equipment loads and data, proposed layouts, operating requirements and any continuity or backup-power objectives.

  • The agreed handoff

    An electrical input and interface register, coordinated design/drawing package and tracked utility or specialty approvals for the agreed installation.

Decisions, fees and timing

Scope and dependencies determine the proposal. No universal price or approval date is assumed.

  1. Confirm the basis and responsibility

    Review the available records, intended endpoint and authority to use the information. Assign missing inputs, technical decisions and the parties who can authorize changes.

  2. Coordinate and review the work

    Prepare the included documents from agreed inputs, resolve interfaces with responsible specialists and track revisions. Record external decisions and conditions separately from work prepared for review.

  3. Account for project-specific dependencies

    Existing capacity, service upgrades, equipment and interconnection lead times, new loads, continuity requirements and technical revisions.

  4. Deliver the defined milestone

    Provide the controlling documents and remaining-action record. Identify what is accepted, what still requires a decision and what belongs to a separately contracted next stage.

Before you begin

Common questions

Does unused panel space mean there is capacity?

Physical space alone does not establish available electrical capacity. The responsible professional evaluates the actual loads, equipment and service information.

Can backup power be added as an isolated equipment purchase?

It needs a coordinated installation scope, including transfer arrangements, fuel or energy storage, ventilation, structural and fire interfaces as applicable.
