Built by engineers, for engineers.
FirstGrid Consulting was founded on a simple premise: distribution system engineering deserves better than slide decks and black-box tools.
The founder brings two decades of hands-on experience in distribution system analysis, protection & coordination, substation design, and power flow studies. Throughout that time, a commitment to open-source tooling has shaped a different approach to consulting — one where every analysis is reproducible, every method is transparent, and every deliverable stands up to scrutiny.
We don't use bloat or junior-analyst churn — just deep domain expertise applied directly to your problem, and the technical rigor that comes from building open-source tools used by engineers worldwide.
How we work so you get real results, not just reports.
We start by understanding your constraints, regulatory environment, and operational realities. No two distribution systems are the same, and neither should be our approach.
Our analysis is code-based, reproducible, and fully documented. You can audit every assumption, every model, and every result. That's how trust is built.
Results aren't just numbers — they're decisions you can act on. We translate technical analysis into clear recommendations aligned with your goals.
Whether it's a one-time study or ongoing support, we stay with you through implementation. A report is only valuable if it drives action.
Reach out and we'll have an honest conversation about whether we can help.
