Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the Company or Bowman) (NASDAQ: BWMN), a national engineering services firm delivering infrastructure solutions and program management services to customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment, announced today that it has been selected by J. Ranck Electric, Inc. (JRE) to lead the re-mobilization of a 64 MW direct current (DC) solar project located in Southeast Michigan. This expansion will enhance the substation’s capabilities to support additional solar power generation, integrating new photovoltaic (PV) capacity alongside existing wind power infrastructure.

Under this contract, Bowman will perform a comprehensive suite of services, including electrical engineering, civil design and system modeling to support the integration of JRE’s solar power installation into the US power grid. The contract also includes critical safety and capacity studies such as arc flash hazard assessments, short-circuit and load flow studies, thermal ampacity analyses and harmonics evaluations all aimed at enhancing the substation’s performance, reliability and safety as it incorporates increased renewable energy.

“This project marks significant steps forward both in our energy services practice and in our partnership with J. Ranck Electric,” said Dan Swayze, chief operating officer of Bowman. “We are excited to deploy our energy engineering and design capabilities to help JRE enhance Michigan’s renewable energy capacity and grid stability. This assignment reinforces our commitment to delivering diversification and organic growth as we continue to expand our renewables and traditional energy portfolio nationally.”

As part of its services, Bowman will also provide ongoing consulting through the construction and commissioning phases, ensuring a seamless transition as the substation takes on its expanded role within the renewable energy landscape. This latest collaboration advances an expanding relationship between Bowman and JRE. Previous project assignments include a $1.4 million contract awarded to Bowman in 2023 for engineering design services on a 200 MW solar array.
