SOLV Energy acquires Roberson Waite Electric to internalize high-voltage substation construction capabilities

SOLV Energy finalized the acquisition of Roberson Waite Electric, a California-based electrical contractor specializing in high-voltage substation construction and utility infrastructure. The transaction enables SOLV Energy to internalize critical high-voltage construction capabilities, reducing reliance on external subcontractors for substation and switchyard design and installation. Roberson Waite Electric, based in Anaheim, California, brings decades of experience in projects vital for the interconnection of utility-scale energy projects. The acquisition positions SOLV Energy to better manage project costs and timelines amid intense market competition driven by AI-driven data center energy demands. Industry data indicates that projects waiting in interconnection queues have swelled, making in-house high-voltage expertise a competitive advantage for grid integration efficiency.
