City: Brunswick

Newtility, LLC is an engineering and specialty contracting company located in Brunswick, Maine, focused on renewable energy, distributed generation, grid modernization, and protection & control systems that make complex power projects actually work in the real world. We provide electrical engineering, systems integration, equipment procurement, and specialty contracting services for renewable and clean power generation—including wind, hydro, biogas, cogeneration, solar, and energy storage—as well as substation automation, industrial automation, and microgrid projects. We excel at finding solid solutions to challenging projects and bring years of real-world experience with unusually complex automation, mixed energy sources, microgrid and islanded facilities, and similarly intricate systems. If a project involves multiple energy sources, tight operational constraints, or tricky protection and controls, that’s our comfort zone. At our core, we are electrical and control systems engineers with deep, hands-on field experience. We design, program, test, commission, and support complex power systems that don’t fit neatly into boxes. We are often the team brought in when a project is difficult, unusual, or mission critical. This cross-discipline mix of skillsets allows us to bridge the gap between protection, controls, automation, and communications. We “speak everyone’s language”, from owners and engineers to contractors and utilities. This helps ensure that technical decisions are practical, effective, and well understood. We take a flexible, collaborative approach and work closely with all stakeholders to make sure every project we touch is successful. Our designs are driven by practical, real-world experience, supported by strong academic and analytical foundations. Our role varies based on the project and the owner, but often spans the full project lifecycle: initial development, conceptual design, detailed engineering & construction-level design, commissioning and testing, and ongoing operations support. Newtility’s clients range from privately owned independent power producers and industrial facilities to public utilities and municipalities. Typical Newtility scopes of work may include: • Development-level design, concept development, and cost/ROI estimates • Bid-level engineering, scoping, equipment specifications, and bid package development • Construction-level engineering coordinated with major equipment vendors and installers • Power system studies, including short circuit, effective grounding, coordination, and arc flash • Procurement and delivery of specialty or hard-to-source equipment such as switchgear, relay protection, control panels, and automation systems • Software development across the project, including relay settings, PLC, HMI, SCADA, RTU, data acquisition, and reporting tools • On-site startup, testing, and commissioning • Operations support, troubleshooting, and capital improvements In addition, we bring a battle-tested network of partners, equipment suppliers, contractors, and engineering firms with complementary skill sets, allowing us to solve problems that extend beyond our own core competencies.
